History of the Bracebridge tannery and Acton ties revival
The narrative traces the Bracebridge tannery fading from Bark supply, closure, and transfer to Acton. It covers family ties, business partnerships formed November 1875, a three year dissolution, Edward Moore’s early death, and James Moore’s later management. The piece notes the tannery’s expansion into Beardmore Co. and a former golf links site transitioning to modern industrial use.
