St Marys – Thompson’s Tannery site, tannery pits (former) and well

A small number of brick-lined pits are still exposed in the open area behind 92-94 Saddington Street. Some have been filled so that only the brick edging remains exposed at ground level, but others have only been partially filled with rubbish and their form is still clearly visible (1987). image
