This unique study traces the history of Norwich and Norfolk from the
time of earliest life to the outbreak of the First World War. It is
designed to appeal to the travelers, both single and in family groups,
who wish to explore the host of fascinating places on offer in what the
Norfolk-born authors believe to be the most unspoiled and mysterious
county in England. Norwich has its own section along with three possible
walks taking in many of the recommended sites. The vast coast is
presented next and finally the book travels to central Norfolk: at all
times, places of interest are grouped as much as possible so that
travelers can make the most of the time available. Everywhere, legends
and stories relating to an area are woven into the narrative. A final
chapter considers Norwich and Norfolk through time using rare archive
and archaeological material to give a taste of life in days gone by. Top
Norfolk photographer Daniel Tink has taken 100 photographs especially
for the book and presents these where appropriate alongside some
wonderful contrasting old prints and etchings. The book concludes with a
comprehensive index and bibliography designed to facilitate further
study. Throughout, telephone numbers and websites of attractions are
given, providing readers with a 'toolkit' to unlock the secrets,
history, sites and stories of this vast county.
