Filby has a long history dating back to the end of the Ice Age when rising sea levels left Britain an island. Local rivers discharged into a large bay occupying much of the land to the west of what is, now, Great Yarmouth. They deposited sand and silt that formed a thick clay deposit over former reedswamp, where, in the absence of oxygen, it would slowly decompose Local Map into peat. The bay was present during the Roman conquest of Britain in AD 43. To guard the entrance, they erected forts at nearby Caister and on the opposite bank, Burgh Castle. There was a further entrance to the bay at nearby Horsey, with the land in between that was to become known as Flegg Island, (Flegg is a Norse word meaning Reeds). The Romans had largely departed from Britain by AD 410 and were replaced, in Norfolk, by Angles from the Schleswig-Holstein area of Germany. It is after them that the region is known as East Anglia. Following the initial violence of conquest, they settled to an agrarian lifestyle, clearing areas of forest to graze their animals. Vikings arrived in about AD800 and Danes occupied Flegg Island. Danish settlements are characterised by a name ending in ‘by’ meaning new settlement. There are some 13 villages, on the island, with a name ending in ‘by’ and Filby was the home of File the Dane. The bay was already draining, as the sandbar reformed at its mouth and reed and Alder Carr was encroaching its banks. (A carr is waterlogged, wooded terrain that, typically, represents a succession stage between the original reedy swamp and the eventual formation of forest.) Filby maintained its access to the bay via a, still present, water course known as Muck Fleet and, at the time of the Norman invasion, the local economy was benefiting from the sale of salt. In the Doomsday book, Filby is recorded as having 3 pans from which seawater was evaporated to leave salt. After the invasion, Filby was given to Rabel the Engineer, the master of the Norman army’s siege engines. Until the 1950s, it had been thought that the Broads were the residuals from the drainage of the bay but, as a result of soil borings, botanist Joyce Lambert, then of the University of Cambridge, established that they were, in fact, former peat diggings. Her contentious proposition prompted a literature search which revealed that there was no mention of any ‘lakes’ in Norfolk until the Elizabethan era! A tentative date for the start of peat extraction is the 9th century. Tangible sources of medieval information on the subject are Norfolk in AD800 monastic accounts which record their consumption of peat as an alternative fuel to heat their buildings. This was in place of wood as the local area was being subjected to deforestation. The largest consumers were the, now ruined, Abbey of Saint Benedict, near Thurne, and the Cathedral at Norwich, which consumed some 400,000 turves a year. (A turf is approximately 1 cubic foot). Turves were removed in strips following the boundaries of single-family ownership of the open field system of farming of the Middle Ages. The extractions were known as ‘Turbaries’. Turbaries were an important source of income for their owners and, locally, peat had an early use in the boiling of salt. The Ormesby- Rollesby-Filby group of villages, situated about what is now known as the Trinity Broads, were particularly active in peat extraction and were the most heavily populated area in the county, at the time. It is estimated that some 900 million cubic feet of peat were lifted to form the Broads but peat extraction began to decline in the 13th century when demand fell as a result of population decrease due to the great epidemics. Wet weather, brought about by climate change, made extraction more difficult, and records began to refer to ‘peat dredging’ as opposed to ‘peat digging’. Fisheries now replaced turbaries in the monastic record and, in 1574, the Trinity Broads made their first appearance on a map. Until the 1950s, the village’s main claim to fame was its proliferation of market gardens. Kelly’s Directory of 1897 lists the occupation Page 4 Filby in Bloom 2019 of 20 out of the 45 property owning residents as ‘market gardener’. That same volume records that the village was one of the country’s main raspberry growing centres. It mentions that the parish is ‘famous for its excellent raspberries, many hundred pounds worth of which are sent to London and other towns during the season’. The 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica even names Filby as a popular summer fruiting variety of raspberry. (Raspberry Filby is also known as Fastolf.) Between the wars, not only were there five large, professional market gardens of 5 acres or more in the village, there were also some 30 or so properties with gardens of between a half and one acre, growing crops that were sold to supplement the incomes of Raspberry picking in the 1920s lowly paid farm worker owners and tenants. Those families not having the advantage of a garden could hire an allotment situated on Thrigby Road. With allotment or garden, their most valuable crop was raspberries! The picking season was relatively short, but intense, just 6 or 7 weeks in mid-summer, during which time family members were roped in to help individual growers, whilst the professionals hired in women from the village to collect the crop.

  • 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.

  • Press Release
    Press Release For immediate release: 19 March 2009 RHS Britain in Bloom celebrates 45 years with a fresh new face In 2009 the RHS is launching Britain in Bloom, the UK’s biggest and longest-running community gardening campaign with a fresh new face. On Saturday 21st March 2009, TV gardeners Charlie Dimmock and Chris Collins will join 200 volunteers in Crawley to launch the fresh face of Britain in Bloom and dispel the myth that the campaign is the preserve of chocolate box villages. The RHS Britain in Bloom UK Finals alone involve tens of thousands of volunteers and benefit over 2.2m residents in cities, towns and villages across the UK. Yet new research conducted on behalf of the RHS shows that 78% of us still believe it is a competition only for rural villages, while 82% think it is only about adding more plants to local areas.* Inga Grimsey, Director General of the RHS, said, “Britain in Bloom is a fantastically powerful campaign that is recognised for building community spirit and benefiting the environment. **It involves every kind of community imaginable, from inner city estates through to coastal towns. This weekend’s events are all about challenging out of date perceptions about the campaign, and encouraging many more people to get involved in community gardening projects to improve where they live. “We understand why a lot of people still associate Britain in Bloom with bedding plants and traditional villages. It was devised in 1964 by the tourist board as a way of marketing the country, and it played on the quintessentially English rural idyll.

  • 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.
