When reading through fairly ancient deeds and documents we often come across quaint and old fashioned terminology. We wonder how many of our clients are able to recognise the trades referred to in the restrictive covenants set out in an 1874 Indenture?

“...The covenantors shall not nor will use or permit or suffer to be used any shops which may be erected in the said **** Road for and in connection with the trade of a slaughterman, tallow chandler, melter of tallow, stoke melter or boiler, tobacco pipemaker, currier, smith, fellmonger, dyer, distiller, common brewer, coppersmith, working brazier, tinplate worker, cooper, tripe boiler, fried fish seller, farrier, vendor of coals, beater of flax or any of them or any trade of a like nature or any noisome offensive or dangerous trade or business whatsoever...”
