Lost Corners: Where in the World is Puddledock?
|
| Abstract |
The hamlet of Puddledock, Quebec, (named after a location on the Thames River in London, England) no longer technically exists. This once busy neighbourhood in Stanbridge Township is today part of the village of Stanbridge East. From the 1830s to the 1930s, the hamlet’s tannery was the largest producer of leather in Quebec. During the First World War, Puddledock's tannery further developed to be the largest producer of belting leather in the British Empire. The author points out that Puddledock was not just about the tannery. The hamlet also included a wheelwright, a carriage factory, two sawmills, a wooden rake factory, a butter tub factory, and a blacksmith shop. The hamlet and Stanbridge East were also "centres of harmony for the presentation of the arts and for cultural pursuits."
