UK tannery eyes modernisation
06/09/2017
Owners wish to knock down the stone raw skin store and replace it with a steel-framed building.
The request to Dartmoor National Park Authority said: “The existing building is in very poor condition and restricts access to other buildings on the site.”
Devonia went into administration in 2013 but was bought by Eastern Counties Leather, a Cambridgeshire-based tannery.
Devonia has been processing sheepskin at the site for more than 200 years.
