    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.

  • NORWICH, ENGLAND Global Education NORWICH, ENGLAND
    Global Education Education Global NORWICH, ENGLAND NORWICH, (CGE) for Center HOBART AND WILLIAM SMITH COLLEGES SMITH WILLIAM AND HOBART Excursions UEA is not a “study abroad program” in the traditional sense in that HWS students will be directly enrolled at the university. While there will not be excursions designed specifically for HWS students, UEA does have a full-service student travel agency on its campus in order to assist those planning their own travel. In addition, the university has an extremely active student union and international student office which plan a variety of educational, cultural and travel opportunities in which all students are invited to participate (fees will vary). Independent and self-starting students will have a multitude of opportunities to immerse themselves in the local culture and to explore southeastern England and beyond. Norfolk coastline Going Abroad With the CGE Students will be charged standard HWS tuition and fees and a $550 administrative fee. This will cover credit for a four-course semester, airport arrival services and orientation program. Note that no room or board charge is included. Students will pay room fees directly to the University of East Anglia (note that several housing options are available at different price levels; housing expenses will be higher during the spring semester due to the longer term) and they should bring their board fee to cover meals. While board expenses will vary according to individual tastes, we estimate that $2000—$2300 should be sufficient for students who prepare their own meals (during the spring semester, students should bring $2400—$2700 for meals due to the longer semester).

    Economic Growth Potential of the Cambridge Norwich Technology Corridor Draft Final Report Adam Brown December Cambridge Econometrics [email protected] 2017 Cambridge, UK www.camecon.com Economic Growth Potential of the Cambridge Norwich Technology Corridor Cambridge Econometrics’ mission is to provide clear insights, based on rigorous and independent economic analysis, to support policy-makers and strategic planners in government, civil society and business in addressing the complex challenges facing society. Cambridge Econometrics Limited is owned by a charitable body, the Cambridge Trust for New Thinking in Economics. www.neweconomicthinking.org Cambridge Econometrics 2 Economic Growth Potential of the Cambridge Norwich Technology Corridor 1 Introduction Background Cambridge Econometrics has been commissioned by Breckland District Council and Partners to carry out an evidence review and analysis of sectoral growth potential for the Cambridge‐Norwich Technology Corridor (CNTC). The work is divided into three phases: Phase 1: Collection of economic data from a range of official government sources and presentation in graphical and GIS formats. Data on major growth sites is also to be collected and mapped. Phase 2: A statistical analysis of current sectoral strengths and weaknesses of the corridor and its sub‐areas using location quotient analysis, and an assessment of sectoral growth risks and opportunities based on national trends Phase 3: the presentation of a projection for population and economic growth for the next 15 years, combined with some recommendations for policy intervention The work builds on a previous study carried out by Bruton Knowles’ (BK, 2015), along with the marketing research of the Deyton Bell Report (2016), the New Anglia SEP (2017) and GCGP SEP (2013), and this work should be seen in the context of the recommendations outlined in those papers.

  • COVENTRY, Connecticut
    COVENTRY, Connecticut By Stephanie Summers Some 20 miles east of Hartford lies Coventry, a place Native Americans called Wangumbaug, meaning “crooked pond,” after the shape of the then-300-acre lake within its bounds. The town is probably best known as the birthplace of America’s young Revolutionary War hero Nathan Hale, who when captured as a spy against the British and facing the gallows said, “I regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.” But its claims to history are much more varied. From the Civil War to the onset of the Great Depression, its strategic waterways fed one of the highest concentrations of mills in New England, with, at the peak, 16 plants built along the Mill Brook. To this day, South Coventry Village retains its authenticity, interrupted by two small, modern-day commercial retail buildings. Used primarily by the Mohegans as a hunting ground with no signs of settlement, the land was given in a will to a group of white settlers in 1675 by Joshua, third son of the sachem Uncas. Sixteen white families, mostly from Hartford and Northampton, Mass., settled the area in 1709. It was named for Coventry, England, in 1711 and incorporated a year later. A church and grist mill were established in short order. In 2010 the U.S. Census estimated Coventry’s population at 12,428 in an area of 38.4 square miles within Tolland County. During the Revolution, the town was of a considerable size, with 2,032 white and 24 black residents. The town divided itself into two societies of sorts, connected to the two early churches.
