• He resided at Barker Gate in 1835 in Nottingham, England. ²³⁷ Barker Gate got its name from a nearby tannery. A barker was a tanner, from their use of Oak Bark for the tanning process, the term Tanner comes from the fact that putting Oak bark in water releases a organic compound called Tannin.
First the Barker would pummel the bark then pits were filled with alternate layers of cleaned and prepared skins and bark, then filled with water, they were then left for about a month.
The were then transferred to a new pit and more bark added, this was repeated many times, the tanning liqueur getting stronger each time.
A small thin skin required about 6 pits (6 months), large, thick skins could need 24 pits (2 years), the average was about 9 pits (9 months).
