Sounds and smells in Karlskrona

Sounds from the horses iron shoes, squeaking noise from the carriages, small talks, yelling and screaming. You could hear hammers hitting the iron if you waked past a yard were a shoemaker, smith or joiner worked.

On the streets there where spilling from the animals, dogs and pigs went thru the butchers waste because Karlskrona was a large city it could take several days before the waste was removed from the streets.

A lot of Craftsmen were working with materials that also contributed with odor in the city for example, painters, fishermen, bakery and founder to mention a few. And the salt water also contributed with a smell from tar and pitch.

The streets

They were hilly and uneven, the streets was made of sand, pitch or bare rocks.

It would be an idea if we could find some sounds that represents the things that I have described.

I remember that Blekinge museum played a tape with horse on when we where there, if we can get the sound from them or if we can find something ourselves.
