A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

From Tombland to Carrow Road, Frank Meeres takes us on a tour of Norwich through the ages, explaining the history behind the well-known landmarks of this fine city. Photographs illustrate shops, schools, garages, churches, houses and street scenes; some that are instantly recognisable, and others that are lost forever. As you follow this trail, you will notice the increase in the number of vehicles on the road; shops that once sold new goods are now estate agents or charity shops; green fields have been transformed into industrial estates, houses or ring roads; however, some beloved features such as the Provisions Market, the Guildhall and St Peter Mancroft have remained unchallenged and unchanged.

Biographie de l'auteur

Frank Meeres has worked for many years at the Norfolk Record Office. Norfolk was a hotbed of suffragette activity, and this motivated Frank to explore the history of the movement on a national level. His other books include The Story of Norwich and I Survived the Somme: The Secret Diary of a Tommy, and he co-wrote a book on the history of Yarmouth which was given to every child in the town to celebrate the Millennium. He lives in Norwich.
