Overview

The county of Norfolk in East Anglia has a long and rich history. A settlement for thousands of years, the county has seen numerous battles and fortifications. Many Norfolk market towns still exist, a nod to its former importance in the woollen and agricultural industries. It is home to the Broads, a well-known network of rivers, waterways and lakes, which have been reshaped and transformed by generations of Norfolk inhabitants. Historical sites, such as those in the centre of Norwich, and the miles of sandy beaches, receive many visitors throughout the year. Join local author Michael Rouse on a visual tour of this beautiful county, using old and new images to illustrate the changes that have taken place over the years. His carefully selected images will surprise and delight anyone who knows and loves this ancient and picturesque county.
