Sheep Street, Petersfield

I cycled again today, this time to Sheep Street, one of the oldest streets in our town.   Around the C13th Petersfield was a wool town producing a light cloth known  as Hampshire Kersey.   The houses in Sheep Street tell a story of the wool processing that occured there.   One house - still here today - called Carding house, which was where the wool was drawn into long fibres for spinning.
