Book A History of Great Yarmouth

Download or read book A History of Great Yarmouth written by Frank Meeres and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great Yarmouth dates its official ‘birthday’ from 1208, when it received its first royal charter, but people have lived in the area for many thousands of years. Its prosperity has rested for centuries upon the ‘silver darlings’ - the herring, upon trade, especially across the North Sea, and in more recent times on tourism and the leisure industry. This book sets Yarmouth in its environmental context, discussing the dramatic effect of rises and falls in sea levels and changes in climate upon the town and its surroundings. It looks at the proud contribution of Yarmouth and its inhabitants to national and international events, and includes details of the men and women of the area who have made a difference to their country in a variety of ways, with brief biographies of 30 people with close ties to Greater Yarmouth, from Saint Fursey to Myleene Klass, a remarkable set of role models for the inhabitants of the town of today and tomorrow. Above all, however, the book considers the lives of ordinary people, at work and at play. Profusely illustrated, it includes many fascinating photographs from the 1860s to the late 20th century, almost all of which have never before been published. Unlike most works on Yarmouth, this book looks at the entire area that has always been closely connected to the borough and that now makes up Greater Yarmouth, with a chapter on the history of Gorleston, and chapters on the villages and former villages to the north and south of the central area – and where the majority of the inhabitants of Greater Yarmouth now live. This book brings alive the history of Greater Yarmouth. It will be invaluable to the many people, whether residents or holiday visitors, who have ever wondered what it was like to live here in the past.

With 24 years of living in Norfolk and writing honest reviews on many of the wonderful things to do in Norfolk, Suzy Watson covers all you need to know about the amazing beaches from a personal standpoint. She has had small and large children, she has dogs, she loves wildlife and large open spaces, and occasionally she likes to be entertained (!), so this book covers every aspect of what you might want from a beach in detail, including which ones are dog friendly. All the Norfolk beaches vary so much and there are so many of them that it can be difficult to find the right beach for your current circumstance.

Book This Luminous Coast

    Book Details:
  • Author : Jules Pretty
  • Publisher : Cornell University Press
  • Release : 2014-12-02
  • ISBN : 0801455324
  • Pages : 272 pages

Download or read book This Luminous Coast written by Jules Pretty and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2014-12-02 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of a year, Jules Pretty walked along the shoreline of East Anglia in southeastern England, eventually exploring four hundred miles on foot (and another hundred miles by boat). It is a coast and a culture that is about to be lost—not yet, perhaps, but soon—to rising tides and industrial sprawl. This Luminous Coast takes the reader with him on his journey over land and water; over sea walls of dried grass, beside stretched fields of golden crops, alongside white sails gliding across the intricate lacework of invisible creeks and estuaries, under vast skies that are home to curlews and redshanks and the outpourings of skylarks. East Anglia's coastline is as much a human landscape as it is a natural one, and Pretty is equally perceptive about the region's cultural heritage and its "industrial wild": fishing villages and the modern seaside resorts, family farms and oil refineries, pleasure piers and concrete seawalls, cozy pubs and military installations. Through words and photographs, Pretty interweaves stories of the land and sea with people past and present. He is a passionate and sensitive guide to a region in transition, under stress, and perhaps even doomed, as finely attuned to its history as he is to its unique sensory world.

Book The Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast path

Download or read book The Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast path written by Phoebe Smith and published by Cicerone Press. This book was released on 2019-05-15 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path National Trail is an easy-to-follow 130-mile trail that combines the best of inland and coastal walking in Norfolk, and one that, being well waymarked, largely flat and within easy reach of public transport for most of its length, is ideal for people new to long-distance walks. Described in 11 stages, the route can be walked in just over a week but also easily split into day walks or over a series of weekends, with full information about access to start and finish points for each stage by public transport. This handy guidebook is illustrated throughout with extracts of OS 1:50K mapping and stunning photographs depicting the Trail in all seasons and describes points of interest along the way, including the Norfolk Songlines sculptures, and also facilities available in the towns and villages. The trail is a walk of two halves. The Peddars Way begins at Knettishall Heath in Suffolk and follows the route of an old Roman road for over 40 miles to Holme-next-the-Sea, where it meets the Norfolk Coast Path (which begins nearby, at Hunstanton). This then follows the spectacular Norfolk coast to the seaside town of Hopton-on-Sea.
