No Bull

No bull

After the Great Fire of London, Bermondsey was inhabited by the city’s well-to-do and a famous health spa opened here. However, by the mid 19th century things had changed dramatically and Bermondsey became a great emporium for the leather industry. A third of the leather in the country came from here, and the air reeked with the foul smells associated with its production. Hides were soaked for up to two years in a solution largely comprising urine and dog faeces, which ‘pure gatherers‘ were paid to collect around London. To this day, many of the local streets still bear names associated with the trade, such as Tanner Street, Morocco Street and of course Leathermarket, although thankfully the smell has failed to linger.
