Picturesque Dunedin: or Dunedin and its neighbourhood in 1890

Tanneries

Tanneries.

The business of tanning is one of the industries which is absolutely necessary to provide for the wants of the population.

The tannery of Messrs. Michaelis, Hallenstein and Farquhar is situated near the line of railway from Dunedin to Port Chalmers, about 1 1/2 miles from the latter town. It is excellently fitted up, well provided with water, and gives employment to from 30 to 40 hands.

Mr. J. W. Coombs is proprietor of a tannery in the North-East Valley, and there is also one in the same neighbourhood, owned by Mr. Wm. Parker.
