Interior view of the Joppa Tannery located at number 87 Kirkstall Road showing the lime pits. The tannery, established here by Richard Nickol in the 1820s, occupied a four acre site. There were 500 stone lined pits, seven feet square by six feet deep in which the hides were suspended during treatment. The firm was still in the Nickol family, being run by the third generation, when it finally closed in 1955. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Joppa Tannery Kirkstall Road tannery | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=23... | Go to resource |
