Regional Analysis

 
This page shows the geographical location where the Victorian Ointment pots that are known originate from.

Certain parts of the country have produced more pots than others.
Analysis shows that the capital cities of the country produced the most. Greater London, the capital city, naturally has the most retailers, double the number of the nearest other rival county.
Yorkshire and the West Midlands have the next largest number of ointment producers. 
It is quite surprising that the southern eastern side of the country, the counties of Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex and Kent, do not have any pots.
Why ?

The following table shows the counties where ointment pot producers are noted.
Some pots that exist do not have a town attributed to them as their origin is presently unknown.
