  • 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.

  • Hunstanton Neighbourhood Development Plan – Draft Version 4.2
    Hunstanton Neighbourhood Development Plan – draft version 4.2 Introduction 1. Hunstanton’s Neighbourhood Development Plan (HNDP) has been modelled on a number of other parish neighbourhood plans with the intention of avoiding the re-invention of the wheel but at the same time relating the plan to the uniqueness of the town. The other plans include those of Brancaster, South Wootton, West Winch & North Runcton in West Norfolk; Langham and Uppingham in Rutland; St Ives in Cornwall; Exminster and Newton Abbot in Devon and East Preston in West Sussex Background – The Localism Act 2. In November 2011, the Localism Act was introduced with the aim of devolving more decision making powers from central government and providing: New freedoms and flexibilities for local government; New rights and powers for communities and individuals; Reform to make the planning system more democratic and more effective; Reform to ensure that decisions about housing and infrastructure are taken locally. 3. Through the development of a Neighbourhood Plan (NP), a community will now be able to propose the direction and degree of its own future development. 4. The Localism Act of 2011 introduced Neighbourhood Planning into the hierarchy of spatial planning in England. Once a Neighbourhood Plan has been accepted, it becomes a legal document and then sits alongside the Core Strategy (CS) and the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Document (SADMP) and the County Minerals and Waste Plans. It informs all future planning decisions that the local planning authority makes about that particular community. 5. The HNDP describes a vision for the future of the town, which has been established through engagement with local residents and extensive consultation throughout the area.

  • Pick of the Churches
    Pick of the Churches The East of England is famous for its superb collection of churches. They are one of the nation's great treasures. Introduction There are hundreds of churches in the region. Every village has one, some villages have two, and sometimes a lonely church in a field is the only indication that a village existed there at all. Many of these churches have foundations going right back to the dawn of Christianity, during the four centuries of Roman occupation from AD43. Each would claim to be the best - and indeed, all have one or many splendid and redeeming features, from ornate gilt encrusted screens to an ancient font. The history of England is accurately reflected in our churches - if only as a tantalising glimpse of the really creative years between the 1100's to the 1400's. From these years, come the four great features which are particularly associated with the region. - Round Towers - unique and distinctive, they evolved in the 11th C. due to the lack and supply of large local building stone. - Hammerbeam Roofs - wide, brave and ornate, and sometimes strewn with angels. Just lay on the floor and look up! - Flint Flushwork - beautiful patterns made by splitting flints to expose a hard, shiny surface, and then setting them in the wall. Often it is used to decorate towers, porches and parapets. - Seven Sacrament Fonts - ancient and splendid, with each panel illustrating in turn Baptism, Confirmation, Mass, Penance, Extreme Unction, Ordination and Matrimony. Bedfordshire Ampthill - tomb of Richard Nicholls (first governor of Long Island USA), including cannonball which killed him.
