The other week I was tipped off by a fellow researcher to the existence of some very interesting manuscripts in the British Library — the travel diaries of Samuel More, secretary to the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce.
Many thanks for this item. I live in Broseley and my next novel is set here. Unfortunately it is a few years earlier than the scenes you reported, but they're very interesting nonetheless.
Good topic. I love this stuff!

You're very welcome Charlie. In case you missed it, as it may prove useful to your writing, a few weeks ago I published my full notes and transcripts from the Samuel More diaries that I quoted from here: https://publish.obsidian.md/antonhowes-manuscripts/The+Samuel+More+Collection
