Westport cobbler retires
ALMOST half a century of hammering and stitching came to an end last Friday when Joe Cameron dusted down his overcoat for the last time in his shop near The Octagon in Westport. His cobbler shop was the last surviving traditional craft workshop in Westport town, and its closure marks the end of an era when people earned a living from time-honoured artisan trades in the town.
Joe Cameron got involved with his life trade when he began working in the old clog factory on the Distillery Road in Westport many decades ago. When this closed down he spent a period working with Tim Sullivan a well-known shoemaker on James Street before going to Naas,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where he also worked in the shoe business for a short period. Upon returning to Westport he was asked to repair a shoe by someone and thus began a career that has lasted last week,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with Joe skill clearly evident in the fact that his business has never waned,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even in an era much different to that in which he began mending shoes.
After initially setting up on High Street,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Joe moved his workshop to Peter Street 49 years ago, and remained there, loyal to the people of Westport, until last Friday. Last year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Westport Town Council bestowed its highest honour a civic reception on Joe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in recognition of his craftsmanship and valuable contribution to the people of Westport />
Then Cathaoirleach of the Council, Tereasa McGuire,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], spoke glowingly of Mr Cameron as of the original skilled craftsmen left in the town She described how he had built up a strong business without ever changing the landscape of his environment, consistently adhering to the craftsman skills he developed in earlier years. In recognition of his long service to the town of Westport,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Mr Cameron was fittingly presented with a plaque that night which bore the inscription the sole in Westport />
Joe was born on Peter Street and now lives at St Mary Crescent with his wife Carmel. The couple have three daughters, one son and several grandchildren,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], all of whom still live locally.
His brother-in-law is Castlebar town councillor Johnny Mee,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who describes Joe as a to his fingertips.
known him for over 50 years and he still comes to visit us every week with all the news from Westport, said Mr Mee. Cameron family go back seven or eight generations in Westport and Joe is the quintessential Covey and is proud of the town and the people in it. His interest in his birthplace has never waned. />
Johnny describes Joe as a quiet, unassuming family man,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and a perfectionist in his work.
an age when craftsmanship has all but disappeared Joe is one of the few left in the county, he said.
As his family grew and the world modernised, Joe continued to run his cobbler business from his small workshop at the side of O pub just off The Octagon. His workshop managed to keep its rustic old world appearance and charm over the years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and many of Joe tools and implements are now being given to Clew Bay Heritage Centre at theQuay,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where they will be put on display for the duration of their well-earned retirement.
O pub (including Joe Cameron workshop) was bought recently by Westport businessman Noel Kavanagh, and now forms part of the adjoining Wyatt Hotel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which he owns. The premises will be renovated but will continue to run as a pub separate from the bar at the Wyatt for the foreseeable future.
However, the famous former resident will not be forgotten.
contribution to Westport has been immense and unfailing over the decades, and in order to ensure that this is remembered beyond his retirement the new bar at the Wyatt Hotel will be called Cobbler Bar as a tribute to him, said Mr Kavanagh,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who was on hand to see Joe closing one of the true doors to Westport past for the last time on Friday.
