    Many industries were carried on in my district long ago, such as leather, crock, nail, can, spade, and plough making. Almost all these industries were carried on up to a few years ago.
    The tannery was carried on (app to a few years ago) in a yard in Henry Street, and it was owned by a man named Mr Small.
