North Walsham and District: A Second Selection by Neil R Storey
North Walsham & District: A Second Selection takes another look back at the changing face of one of Norfolk’s finest old market towns and its neighbouring settlements. More than 200 photographs, many previously unpublished, record nearly 100 years of the people and places which make up the rich history of the district. Businesses and trades, schools and churches, streets and lanes are all featured. Some images will be familiar to those who know the area today: sadly others record places now gone forever. Neil R. Storey, one of the county’s best-known historians and ;local boy;, has combined memories of local characters with tales factual and anecdotal to produce informative captions which evoke a way of life now long gone. He records everyday events as well as major landmarks from the last century including celebrations marking Queen Victoria’s jubilee, an outside broadcast for the coronation of King George VI and the disruption caused by war. The collection of pictures paints a fascinating historical portrait of this ancient town and district which lies 'Betwixt Poppyland and Broadland'.
NEIL STOREY is an award-winning historian and lecturer specialising in themes that shaped society in the 19th and early 20th centuries, notably crime, medicine and warfare.
