Description: | 18th June 1952.
Examples of various tools used in the tanning trade. One is a long pole with a hook on the end, one is a double handed blade and the middle item is a pair of pincers. The tools are displayed on the forecourt of the tannery, against a black stone. This stone is called a 'beam'. Hides were laid across it during tanning. The long pincers and tongs were used for lifting hides out of the lime pits. The shaped knife was used in the finishing process. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | tools Kirkstall Road tannery | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=23... | Go to resource |
