Some of the trades which were common in 1835 have almost disappeared
from many towns today.
The trade in bark was important because it was used in the tanning
of leather which was very widely used before man-made materials
became common.
The curriers listed here were also involved in the leather making
process. Likewise most towns had coopers or barrel makers, as
wooden barrels were used for carrying almost anything liquid.
