“Over one hundred years ago a very large Tannery was in a full working order in Taghmon in the Co. Wexford.”
(continued from previous page)for such a mill. The hides when from six to twelve months in steep were carted to the bleach to dry before undergoing the final process.
It took over twelve months in those days to tan a hide. Today it can with the aid of machinery be done in as many days.
The Bleach is a narrow strip of land skirting the eastern boundary of Taghmon is about one hundred yards from the site of the Tannery.
