A single one metre square test
pit was dug in the rear lawn of this
property.
You will see at the top of the dig ( red arrow) the remains
what was most probably a Victorian rubbish tip.
This uncovered various bottles and broken pottery
Obviously not what the team were
searching for,
but to find this collection
amongst the vast expanse of lawn was very fortunate.

Shippam`s Potted Meat ceramic jar.
The Shippam`s were
prominent grocers and later butchers in Chichester. In 1892, they
expanded by building a factory behind the butcher's shop to manufacture
canned goods and potted meats.
Today, Shippam`s are no longer a family firm and their Chichester
factory moved out of the town centre in 2002 to be amalgamated
into the "Princes" brand.
