The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the S side of John's Lane. The earliest mention of a tannery here is in a lease of 1764 relating to a Quaker Burial Ground just to the SW which remained in use until 1824. The tannery was well established in 1764 and was still in use on Leahy's map of 1835, but it was defunct by 1871. Archaeological testing (00E0119) uncovered the bases of some tanning pits together with medieval garden deposits. (Wren 2002)
