  Yes, Lesley. There are tanneries in England supplying leather for shoes, upholstery and other items, that use hides purchased in England from British farms.
  
  Leather for a pair of shoes shouldn't cost more than a few pounds, once treated and spanned, although this process might add a few pounds more owing to the legal procedures required to deal with chemical by-products left over as waste.
  But this would probably already be included in the end price of the tannery.
  
  Raw materials for clothes could be imported raw and the end-product material produced locally on a separate production site.
  In an initial stage, though, the materials could be purchased ready for use.
  
  Modern materials for clothes tend to have various components making them resistant and of very good quality.
  In the initial phase at least, these could be purchased ready for use.
  An outlet for producing the materials from their initial raw components would be too ambitious in the early stages of the project owing to costs.
