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.

Public Toilet Review Working Group Recommendations Report To: Council – 26Th January 2015
Subject: Public Toilet Review Working Group Recommendations Report to: Council – 26th January 2015 Report by: Director of Customer Services This report details the work undertaken by the Public Toilet Review Working Group and recommends changes to the operation for the coming 2015/16 year. 1. INTRODUCTION The Council currently operates a total of 22 toilet blocks across the Borough. A map of locations is attached for information. Opening times vary according to summer and winter schedules. Currently customers are not charged for using any facilities. It should be noted that the Council does not have any statutory obligation to provide public toilets. The toilet service is currently delivered through the Joint Venture Company GYB Services. Toilets operate on a summer and winter schedule particularly in relation to seafront and rural facilities. The current costs of operation total £477,000 and as part of the Transformation work the authority wished to re-evaluate and redesign where possible and practical. To move to future operations as part of either an in house (GYB Services) or third party delivery, significant savings and operational improvements must form part of the overall package. The Councils aspiration is to continue to deliver the services that our stakeholders prioritise and value. The recent consultation process asked for views in relation to Public Toilets and whether customers would be willing to see the number of facilities reduce. Responses in relation to this question indicated no clear overall view with the split of ‘fors’ and ‘againsts’ being very dependant upon age groupings. 2. INVESTIGATIONS The toilet provision is clearly split between the rural parishes and the town with 10 toilets located within the northern parishes and a further 12 located either within Great Yarmouth or Gorleston.
