Secret Chichester

English

By (author): Philip MacDougall

Dr Philip MacDougall, local historian, takes you on a journey through the City of Chichester revealing much of its lesser-known history. Here you will find the story behind the citys nineteenth-century banking crisis, the activities of a London mob of criminals who targeted the Goodwood races, a fascinating collection of letters written during the First World War and even how local politicians once bribed potential voters with lashings of beer. Blending the serious and the not so serious and drawing heavily on primary sources, including newspapers and original documents, Secret Chichester gives a fascinating look at this citys past with images from long ago and today.

About Philip MacDougall

Philip MacDougall writes books for Amberley on southern England but with a particular interest in the military and naval complexes that arose in and around South Hampshire (especially Portsmouth) coastal Sussex (especially Chichester) and Kent (especially Medway). As a social historian he is interested in the people and the resources of those areas and the support provided for each of those military complexes. Possibly that interest was first sparked by having a distant ancestor who served as Nelsons secretary during the 1790s and who first joined the future Admiral at the Great Nore anchorage and which lies off North Kent. As well as the author of a number of published books Philip has contributed biographical material on selected naval officers for the widely-acclaimed Dictionary of National Biography. A speaker at events both local and national he offers a wide-range of talks connected with the books he has written.
