The Leather Market buildings in Weston Street are substantial Grade II listed Victorian buildings and probably the most solid reminders of the prominence of the leather trade in Bermondsey in the 19th century. The Leather and Skin Market in Weston Street was opened in 1833, built by a company formed of local tanners and leather-dressers. It was described as a series of brick warehouses lit by a range of windows and an arched entrance at either end. There were two trading areas in open quadrangles at ground level, one where skins and hides were traded, and the other dealt in finished, dressed leather though it was said most of the business of selling the latter was conducted in the surrounding warehouses. The old buildings now offer flexible workspace and studio accommodation. In 1878, a new building was built next door to the Leather Market and emblazoned with the inscription The London Leather, Hide and Wool Exchange and said to be a gentleman’s club though it’s fair to say a lot of business was probably conducted there as well. The new building incorporated a pub and there is still one today now called the Leather Exchange. Source: exploringsouthwark.co.uk
