Yeovil used to be big in the leather industry but with the exception of Pittards on the outskirts of town, the industry has gone and left a variety of standing buildings as well as one significant works that has been lost since 1996 (see - Image). I believe this is the former tannery of the Perrin Leather Co. That was dated 1853 and originally had a top storey with traditional wooden louvres for ventilation.
