Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Identify a trade/occupation. Mid 1880s?

The 19th century saw rapid industrial development in Elswick. In
1847 W.G.Armstrong and his partners bought land on the banks of
the Tyne for a new engineering factory. Originally set up to make
hydraulic cranes, this was to become one of the most important
armaments manufacturers in the world. Other industries
developed along the riverside, including a leatherworks and a lead
works. Several of the factory owners and other local businessmen
built grand houses for themselves further up the banks

It could be a leatherworks
Add - but it might not be in Elswick!

I would think it's 1850s. I hope Jim will come on and give you more information.

Hi
Just popped in to say that I have a couple of lines from this area and with similar dates*. I thought that I'd warn that there was quite a lot of flipping from the patronymic form to surnames in the records at the time.
Sorry not up to doing look ups at the moment but thought that I'd warn.

* and surnames - Ellis and Robert(s)
