Statement of Significance

A number of leather manufacturers (shoes/boot factories) and tanneries are known to have been operating in Abbotsford and Collingwood in the late 19th century and early 20th century. The site has a low level of historicla significance associated with the early industry of Abbotsford. The tannery would have supported a number of boot manufacturers operating in the area from the 1880s onwards until the industry's decline in the 1930s.
