AndyBates Report post Posted July 11, 2012 Hi guys, I've just completed writing an 18,000 word paper on the subject of the manufacture and use of leather in Hexham, UK, (my hometown) from 3000 BC to the present taking in neolithic brain tanning, the Romans and Celts, the Anglo-Saxons, Medieval Gilds, the 'Border Reivers', early modern tanning methods, the death of the trade in the C19th due to the French (!) and its resurrection in the C21st. If anyone would like a copy do let me know (am.bates@btinternet.com, www.andy-bates.co.uk). Thanks! Andy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
