Sweeping in Wareham.
Wareham is a Saxon town inside its original earth walls, but the buildings inside them are mostly Georgian — because a fire in 1762 destroyed much of the town and it was rebuilt in brick immediately afterwards.
That gives Wareham an unusually consistent centre: a town's worth of flues built to broadly the same pattern, at broadly the same date, and now more than two and a half centuries old. Consistency is helpful, but age is age. Mortar at that vintage is soft, joints open up, and parging inside the flue has often gone entirely.
The town sits between two rivers on low ground at the edge of the Purbeck heaths, so it carries the same valley damp found elsewhere, and the surrounding heath and Purbeck villages bring thatch and heavy solid-fuel use.

CCTV flue inspection
Two-and-a-half-century-old flues with failed parging are worth seeing rather than assuming about.
06
Smoke-draw & integrity testing
Open joints in soft Georgian mortar are exactly what a smoke test is for.
