An historic site in the centre of South Molton has been approved for regeneration for ‘much-needed’ housing.
Planners at North Devon Council have approved the conversion of existing buildings at The Old Tannery, East Street, South Molton, to create 14 new homes along with seven new dwellings and associated works.
This is the result of long-standing work by the vendors, the Pearce family, the buyer, Mazzard Investments; the agent Greenslade Taylor Hunt; the seller’s solicitor Wollens, the buyer’s solicitor Ashfords and the architect/planning consultants Woodward Smith.
The historic site is on the south eastern edge of the town and was an important late 19th Century oak bark tannery, thought to include parts dating back to the late 17th Century.

CLAY from the Old Tannery in Holt has been used to make pots. Local potter Cheryl Cork seized her chance when she saw the tannery was being redeveloped for business units and 44 new homes. She asked if she could take some clay from ground being dug during the redevelopment of the buildings. Cheryl, 69, of Lions Orchard, Holt, made six vessels from the clay, which she says contains iron deposits. The clay is a very dark rich red, which I imagine means it contains lots of iron in it. It was very orange and green and I had no idea of what it would look like when I fired it.
