The Tools & Trades History Society

The late Richard Filmer was a TATHS Vice President and a keen photographer of crafts and hand tool trades. During his travels around the world, Richard amassed a collection of around 6000 photographs.

The images have been arranged into categories of trades or subjects. Those available now are:

Basket making; Brush making; Carts; Carving; Coaches; Coopering; Food Preparation; Musical; Rake making; Rustic crafts; Shavehorses; Smithing; Stone and Clay working; Textiles; Timber Working; Tinsmithing; Wheelwrighting; Wooden Artifacts and Woodturning. There is also a Miscellaneous section containing mainly portraits and landscapes.
