This whole Chichester thing is intriquing more than it should with all the crafts and trades in the place. This small pre-industrial blue collar town.
And really, clay pipe making? That's just too damn cool for word. I've found some period appropriate street maps of the place online but they are too damn small to make anything out. I smell a trip to the local uni to get better maps.
I've also googled Chichester and archeology and there seems to be reams and reams of stuff. A lot of it Roman and medieval as this town has a long, long history. But at least I know where to go -- which journals, etc. -- to try and find 18th century stuff.
