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.

West Runton & Beeston Regis Heath
WEST RUNTON & BEESTON REGIS HEATH Archaeological Earthwork Rapid Identification Survey For The National Trust Brian Cushion Archaeological & Cartographical Surveyor June 2012 West Runton & Beeston Regis Heath Archaeological Earthwork Rapid Identification Survey CONTENTS 1 Introduction 2 Summary 3 Results, with map 4 Conclusions 5 Bibliography 6 Acknowledgements 7 Appendices 2 1 Introduction The survey was commissioned in preparation for a Higher Level Stewardship proposal, and was undertaken in accordance with established guidelines of the Historic Environment Countryside Adviser of Norfolk Landscape Archaeology. The survey covers an area of 87 hectares of woodland and heath, including a recently acquired area of woodland which projected from the west into the earlier property extent. The majority of the managed woodland is on the flatter ground on the top of the Cromer Ridge, the heath and more varied woodland is on the sharply serrated north-facing slopes and intervening spurs of the ridge. The fieldwork method was to perambulate the area in as systematic way as topography and vegetation allows, ideally with c.50m transects, record features of note on a map provided, and give a brief analytical description. Hand-held GPS equipment would assist in positioning of the features. Early published maps were consulted, and the existing archaeological records were provided by Norfolk Landscape Archaeology. (See Appendices A & B). A National Trust Archaeological Report for the earlier area had been compiled by Dr Peter Wade-Martins, the then County Archaeologist in 1986 & 1992. Appropriate references are in the text. The area comprises parts of three parishes, West Runton, Beeston Regis and Aylmerton, within the former is the location of The Roman Camp, a well known local viewpoint and beauty spot, unfortunately misnamed.
