More about this scene

In the 1820s Tame Water was described as 'a small hamlet near Dobcross'. In those days the Harrop family appear to have played a major role in the industry of the hamlet; there was James Harrop & Sons, drysalters and oil dealers, and Harrop Booth & Co, woollen cloth manufacturers.
