Everyday Lives of Everyday People

Heritage Open Day: Step into the rhythm of the past with Otley Museum's Heritage Day exhibition celebrating Otley's artisans from Butchers, Farriers, Clockmakers, Bootmakers, Leather workers and Rope making, as well as the warmth of the domestic hearth and home. The exhibition is designed to display the Museum's artefacts showing the small but important independent businesses of the town which helped the community to thrive. All the industries were centred around the needs of the people in a mainly agricultural town that gradually became more industrialised but has kept its roots in farming and livestock. The farriers and butchers were necessary for the market town as were the ropemakers and the leather workers; all off shoots from the cattle and sheep markets.
