COMPLETED - Tanneries in Chesterfield?

I have been researching - on and off - one of my Great Uncle's military history. I had a better look at the forms yesterday and saw that his occupation was a Tannery Labourer prior to enlistment. Could anyone tell me if there were many tanneries in Chesterfield around in 1942 please?
Thanks very much.

Just to let you know - I contacted Clayton Leather and they told me they believe they were the only tannery operating in Chesterfield at the time and are sending me a booklet too - so thanks again for your help copperbeech because I now know just a little bit more about my Great Uncle

Hi Redd,
Well done you!
I am delighted to hear that you have had a good result, I have only recently found out about the Tannery so I am very happy to hear it has been of use, and thanks for letting me know!
