NORFOLK CENTURY brings ter in a unique and comprehensive volume more * than twenty of the county's finest writers to reflect on a 100 years of different aspects of local life, from the county's natural heritage to its unique links with the Royal Family, from the changing face of our towns and villages to the upheaval of two world wars. It is no coincidence that this book has been written under the banner of the Eastern Daily Press, which has a unique link with the county it serves. Many of the writers include some of the EDP's best-loved columnists, and the near-300 pictures in this book have drawn heavily on the extensive EDP photographic archive, although many have been taken especially for this volume. Some of the county's finest writers look at such key Norfolk issues as the changing nature of our villages; the decline of the agricultural workforce; the battle to preserve Norfolk culture against the multi-media onslaught of the outside world, and the love-hate relationship with the sea which has brought so much prosperity and so much heartache. The Norfolk way of doing things is not merely a question of imitating what has been done elsewhere. Not for nothing is the Norfolk motto "dew diffrent". And that independent spirit has shone through the twentieth century, a NORFOLK CENTURY. (Book ref. 125795)  £75.00
