Edward Chinn
53 Potter Street
Fishing Rod Maker circa 1868
no Joseph but must be a connection
Potter street was off Lancaster street just above the canal bridge going into town (Birmingham) it is no longer there

found a Joseph Chinn earlier 1855 working as an agent for a brickmaker ?
named T Flavell Gas street

That looks interesting John could be the one! There don't seem to be many photo's of this area. I have looked for Lancaster Street with no luck.
 
Most fishing tackle was made in the same towns as the needle trade ie Redditch/ Alcester/ Feckenham and Studley. It may be that the family brought thei trade up from there.
