The McCartan family has seen all the major changes in their hometown of Downpatrick - having first opened business in 1926.
Operating out of two Market Street stores, McCartan Sports and McCartan Footwear, the siblings behind the counters today, took over from their father, who took on the businesses from his father. Now they are serving other generations of local families.
Specialising in Gaelic games, the sports shop offers clothing, equipment and footwear for all ages, having their second store, which focuses on footwear, only a couple of doors down.
