Modern flintwork on building in Chichester.

---

A modern building in Chichester built with flint, an ancient building material used where there was no rock or other suitable stone used now for its strength, hardness and attractive appearance. Some of these flints are whole, (cobbles) others are knapped (struck with a hammer or some other very hard material to split them.)
