WORK & OCCUPATION

Occupation

Recorded occupation: Tanneur

A tanneur, or tanner, prepared the skins of animals with tan or tannin (tree bark powder), in order to produce leather by hand. A tannery was where the tanner worked. Tanning was considered a noxious or 'odoriferous trade' and relegated to the outskirts of town and near a river or stream, usually amongst the poor. In other words, tanneries smelled horrible.
