Title: Fellmongers Cottage, Arford, about 1900 [Go to resource]
Description: An undated picture. Fellmongers prepared skins for a tanner, and there used to be a tanyard opposite this property where Brookside Cottage is now. Mr Laverty in his parish notes says that the father of James Mills was the last fellmonger to live here. James died in March 1898 aged 82. Mr Laverty had earlier (in the 1870s) called the property Rotten Row' because of its tumble-down condition! The Arford stream runs close by, and used to cross the road by a ford not far from where this picture is taken. The stream also supplied the tanyard.
