1 gen 1699 anni - bellows-maker

Descrizione:

It is uncertain just where the Hallamshire cutlers obtained their bellows in the trade’s early days but a local family named Osborne supplied them from the latter part of the seventeenth century: 1699 <i>Joshua Osborne, bellows maker</i>, Sheffield (PR4/173). Sheffield had a flourishing tanning industry so leather was readily available. Elsewhere in Yorkshire the word is on record in York from the fourteenth century and at least one early tradesman was an immigrant: 1356 <i>Johannes Bous, belimaker</i>; 1372 <i>Nicholas le yhonge de Flandre, belowmaker</i> (SS96/51,70).
