  • Norfolk Through a Lens
    NORFOLK THROUGH A LENS A guide to the Photographic Collections held by Norfolk Library & Information Service 2 NORFOLK THROUGH A LENS A guide to the Photographic Collections held by Norfolk Library & Information Service History and Background The systematic collecting of photographs of Norfolk really began in 1913 when the Norfolk Photographic Survey was formed, although there are many images in the collection which date from shortly after the invention of photography (during the 1840s) and a great deal which are late Victorian. In less than one year over a thousand photographs were deposited in Norwich Library and by the mid- 1990s the collection had expanded to 30,000 prints and a similar number of negatives. The devastating Norwich library fire of 1994 destroyed around 15,000 Norwich prints, some of which were early images. Fortunately, many of the most important images were copied before the fire and those copies have since been purchased and returned to the library holdings. In 1999 a very successful public appeal was launched to replace parts of the lost archive and expand the collection. Today the collection (which was based upon the survey) contains a huge variety of material from amateur and informal work to commercial pictures. This includes newspaper reportage, portraiture, building and landscape surveys, tourism and advertising. There is work by the pioneers of photography in the region; there are collections by talented and dedicated amateurs as well as professional art photographers and early female practitioners such as Olive Edis, Viola Grimes and Edith Flowerdew. More recent images of Norfolk life are now beginning to filter in, such as a village survey of Ashwellthorpe by Richard Tilbrook from 1977, groups of Norwich punks and Norfolk fairs from the 1980s by Paul Harley and re-development images post 1990s.

  • A Review of Office Accommodation in Norwich
    A Review of Office Accommodation in Norwich Prepared for: Norwich City Council 1 By RAMIDUS CONSULTING LIMITED Date: 6th July 2020 A Review of Office Accommodation in Norwich Executive summary The Norwich office market is in a fragile and vulnerable condition, and this is especially true in the city centre. It has under-performed comparator cities in recent years. It is also shrinking when the trend should be one of expansion. Office occupiers are evolving rapidly Fundamental changes in the economy are bringing about major changes in the demand for property, particularly the office sector. Drivers are economic, business, technological and social, creating what is widely called the ‘knowledge economy’, typified by technology-enabled, knowledge- intensive businesses. This disruption is seen in the amount of space required; the nature of buildings; workplace design and workplace management. As firms adopt more agile, networked approaches, offices will become ‘less generic’ and less single purpose, and will work harder to provide choice and flexibility. The Norwich office market is fragile The Norwich office market is small and vulnerable. It is half the size of Cambridge, and has been reduced by 30% in recent years due to implemented or consented conversions to residential use through Permitted Development Rights. The Prior Approvals process has exacerbated this to the extent that the very survival of the city centre office market is at risk. Despite some recent rental growth induced by scarcity, new development remains unviable. The shrinking stock of remaining offices is ageing and vulnerable to further conversion activity. Take-up of space is comparatively low for a city the size of Norwich: between 2015 and 2019 there was an annual average of 11,000 sq m of lettings (mostly second-hand), in 39 deals averaging 280 sq m each.

  • JULY 2019 NEWSLETTER .Key
    By Pam Taylor Ryston Park: a course by James Braid, Where plenty of Birdies are made, The Greens are quite fast, Lets hope it can last, So more great golf can be played. The year’s competitions are nearly done, Thankfully we have had lots of sun, But its not been too dry, The rain has fell from the sky, So let the ball fly and have fun. The bunkers now have more sand, But they’re not where your ball ought to land, Try to find the green, And never be mean, So all our golf will be grand. Cheers Nigel Ladies’ golf has been in full swing during a very busy July! We have had two trophy competitions, two friendlies, three league matches, and the Scratch team of Tiff, Ann and Tracy have played and won 3 times! With one more match to go in August, our star players are on course for a possible place at the top of Division 1. Whether they manage this or not, they have done amazingly well, and Ryston Park should be very proud of them and their manager Trish McManus. We may lack quantity in the Ladies’ Section, but we have plenty of quality. The League team managed to win both home games against Sheringham and Thetford, but lost away to Dunston Hall. Our friendly at home against Middleton Hall was a win to Ryston Park, but again we lost the away fixture at Feltwell. Thank you to all who played in any of these matches. Congratulations to Pam Taylor and Janet Rice who ended the month by bagging the Copper Jugs; and the Brownlow Bowl, (nice surprise!) will be coming to the Blyth residence this winter.

Walk: 1½ - 2 hours, some steps It is one of five trails to help you explore Norwich’s medieval walls, and discover other medieval treasures along the way. Work started on the walls in 1294 and they were completed in the mid-14th century. When completed they formed the longest circuit of urban defences in Britain, eclipsing even those of London. Today only fragments remain but, using these walking trails you will discover that much of Norwich’s medieval past. Route directions Notable features along the way Starting at the Forum, take the path to the left St Peter Mancroft was built in 1430 on the site of an earlier of St Peter Mancroft and walk through the church built by the Normans.

  • USAAF AIRFIELDS Guide and Map Introduction
    USAAF AIRFIELDS Guide and Map Introduction During the Second World War, the East of England became home to hundreds of US airmen. They began arriving in 1942, with many existing RAF (Royal Air Force) airfields made available to the USAAF (United States Army Air Force). By 1943 there were over 100,000 US airmen based in Britain. The largest concentration was in the East of England, where most of the 8th Air Force and some of the 9th were located on near a hundred bases. The 8th Air Force was the largest air striking force ever committed to battle, with the first units arriving in May 1942. The 9th Air Force was re-formed in England in October 1943 - it was the operator of the most formidable troop-carrying force ever assembled. Their arrival had an immediate impact on the East Anglian scene. This was the 'friendly invasion' - a time of jitterbugging dances and big band sounds, while the British got their first taste of peanut butter, chewing gum and Coke. Famous US bandleader Glenn Miller was based in the Bedford area (Bedfordshire), along with his orchestra during the Second World War. Close associations with residents of the region produced long lasting friendships, sometimes even marriage. At The Eagle pub in Cambridge (Cambridgeshire), and The Swan Hotel at Lavenham (Suffolk), airmen left their signatures on the ceiling/walls. The aircraft of the USAAF were the B-17 Flying Fortress and B-24 Liberator - used by the Bombardment Groups (BG); and the P-51 Mustang, P-38 Lightning and P-47 Thunderbolt - used by the Fighter Groups (FG).

  • 5. Norwich, London, and the Regional Integration of Norfolk's Economy in the First Half of the Fourteenth Century
    NORWICH, LONDON, AND THE REGIONAL INTEGRATION OF NORFOLK’S ECONOMY 5. Norwich, London, and the regional integration of Norfolk’s economy in the first half of the fourteenth century PAMELA NIGHTINGALE The central-place theories used by geographers to explain the integration of markets are increasingly popular with medievalists, and the growth of Norwich in the first half of the fourteenth century, coupled with its connexions with London, raises the possibility that this period did indeed see the integration of markets into regional economies which matured into what James Masschaele has called ‘a rudimentary national economy’.1 He concluded that regional economies had already evolved in outline in England by about 1250 through the creation of a hierarchical constellation of markets round a leading town which became the specialised hub of the network and its chief link with other regions.2 As the most commercially progressive of English counties, Norfolk should offer the most convincing evidence of these developments. By 1349 at least 121 weekly markets had been founded in the county, over 80 per cent of them before 1300.3 There were also many rural fairs, such as those held three times a year at Hanworth in North Erpingham Hundred, at Horsham St Faith in Taverham Hundred, and four times a year at North Creake in Gallow Hundred.4 But how far by the mid- fourteenth century had Norfolk’s markets become part of an integrated regional economy of the kind described by central-place theories? How much did they revolve hierarchically round Norwich,
