North of New Mills, looking north; a hazy day. Perhaps the site of leather tanning pits; the tanning process required the use of a range of pits: soak pits to wash and soften the hides, lime pits to remove hair,tubs where the lime was neutralised and the skin plumped up ready for the tan pits where the skins were soaked in a tanning liquor.
