Tannery's used to soak the skins in urine. Hard up families used to save theirs through the day and night , then sell it to the tannery.

years ago they accidentally buried folk thinking they were dead. They decided to attach a bell on a string from the coffin to the top and employed men to sit overnight by the grave to listen for the bell !!
