Chichester, as with most small nineteenth-century country towns, was home to light industry. In Chichester's case most of this was associated with the output from agriculture - woolstapling, tanning, malting, brewing, slaughtering etc. but there was also much in the way of cottage industry such as clock making. A notable except-ion to this, however, was the business known as Halsted and Sons. Founded in the 1840s, it expanded from being an ironmongers into a full-scale engineering manufactory, sited not only in the heart of the city but in the exclusive residential area known as the Pallants.

By the end of the nineteenth century shipbuilding at Shoreham in West Sussex had declined to the point of extinction, leaving only a residual yacht and boat building industry; it appeared at that time very unlikely that substantial shipbuilding would ever resume at the port.
However, due to the extreme situation brought about by the First World War shipbuilding, operations at Shoreham were to enjoy a brief, if somewhat unusual, revival between 1918 and 1920.

It is intended to record all tollhouses and milestones and any other turnpike structures starting in the west of the county. A hub town will be identified and all turnpike roads serving this place will be examined. A brief history of each of the trusts will be followed by a list of the sites of the tollhouses, and if there are any structures still present these will be described. Surviving milestones will be located and their nature indicated. The first hub city covered in this article is Chichester with the two smaller towns of Midhurst and Petworth also included.
