Description
The Norfolk coast is a unique and beautiful part of our country's heritage. Over the centuries, many of its towns, villages and hamlets have been lost to the sea or forced inland as the coastline has changed. This book explores not only the settlements that remain but also those that have been transformed by natural forces such as silting up of sea channels and longshore drift. The Norfolk coast is shaped not just by the sea, but also by its inhabitants who have lived and worked from it for centuries. From embarking on fishing trips to developing resorts for health and holidays, the coastline has played a vital role in the lives of those who call it home. This book delves into the stories of the people and places that make up Norfolk's rich coastal past. With its nostalgic and thought-provoking approach, this book is a timely reminder of the importance of preserving our coastal heritage. It explores themes such as local identity, communities and trades that have been lost or are becoming increasingly endangered, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Norfolk coast.
