  • 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.

  • The Settlement of East and West Flegg in Norfolk from the 5Th to 11Th Centuries
    TITLE OF THESIS The settlement of East and West Flegg in Norfolk from the 5th to 11th centuries By [Simon Wilson] Canterbury Christ Church University Thesis submitted For the Degree of Masters of Philosophy Year 2018 ABSTRACT The thesis explores the –by and English place names on Flegg and considers four key themes. The first examines the potential ethnicity of the –bys and concludes the names carried a distinct Norse linguistic origin. Moreover, it is acknowledged that they emerged within an environment where a significant Scandinavian population was present. It is also proposed that the cluster of –by names, which incorporated personal name specifics, most likely emerged following a planned colonisation of the area, which resulted in the takeover of existing English settlements. The second theme explores the origins of the –by and English settlements and concludes that they derived from the operations of a Middle Saxon productive site of Caister. The complex tenurial patterns found between the various settlements suggest that the area was a self sufficient economic entity. Moreover, it is argued that royal and ecclesiastical centres most likely played a limited role in the establishment of these settlements. The third element of the thesis considers the archaeological evidence at the –by and English settlements and concludes that a degree of cultural assimilation occurred. However, the presence of specific Scandinavian metal work finds suggests that a distinct Scandinavian culture may have survived on Flegg. The final theme considers the economic information recorded within the folios of Little Domesday Book. It is argued that both the –by and English communities enjoyed equal economic status on the island and operated a diverse economy.

  • BIBLIOGRAPHY the Greenwich Village the Greenwich Village
    A Thoroughly IncomIncompletepleteplete,, Constantly Evolving, Partially AAANNNNNN OTATED BBBIBLIOGRAPHY for use with the Greenwich Village Literary Pub Crawl updated November 19, 2007 ... I. Writing By the Writers Broyard, Anatole. Kafka Was The Rage: A Greenwich Village Memoir. A beautiful and very short book about living in the Village after World War II by Anatole Broyard, who became a legendary critic for the New York Times. Features a great story about Dylan Thomas and his wife Caitlin and how not to get punched by either of them. Crane, Hart. Hart Crane: Complete Poems and Selected Letters . Langdon Hammer, Ed. New York: Literary Classics of the U.S. / Library of America, 2006. Crane is a difficult poet; although many scholars consider him one of the most important of the 20th century, he can be hard to read. Try “Chaplinesque.” It’s short, and it’s kind of about a kitten. Crane, Stephen. Stephen Crane: Prose and Poetry . New York: Literary Classics of the U.S. / Library of America, 1984. Includes Maggie: A Girl of the Streets , The Red Badge of Courage , stories, sketches, journalism and poetry. Maggie takes barely an afternoon to read, but the images will stick around. Crane took a big risk by writing about the parts of New York thought unfit for literature. Dylan, Bob. Chronicles Volume I . New York: Simon & Schuster, 2004. It turns out that Dylan is not only a good writer, but also funny as hell. He describes his mentors, his idols, and his friends in curt, unexpected sentences that are more often than not good enough to inscribe on someone’s gravestone.
