I have just received by return post my copy of
'Glimpses of Fiddaman's Lynn' by Rosemary & Stan
Rodliffe so I may be a few days before my next
posting. Here is the next instalment of titles from my
bookshelf of second hand books on Norfolk local
history, remembering that Heather and Geoff asked for
anything about Brancaster:

'Crabs and Shannocks' by Peter Stibbons, Katherine Lee
& Martin Warren published by Poppyland in 1983 (ISBN 0
946148 02 3). The lives of the longshore fishermen of
North Norfolk, their boats and gear, homes and
traditions, dressing a crab, and traditional ganseys.
Cromer and Sheringham in the late 19th and early 20th
centuries. Families include: ABBS, ALLEN, ALLISON,
BALLS, COX, DAVIES, HARRISON, JOHNSON, KIRBY, ROOK,
SANDFORD, UPCHER, and WEST.

'Brancaster Staithe' by Maurice de Soissons published
by Woodthorpe in 1993 (ISBN 0 9520907 0 8). The story
of a straggling one-street village from ancient to
modern times.

'The Holkham People' by Maurice de Soissons published
by Woodthorpe in 1997 (ISBN 0 9520907 2 4). A super
backdrop to the lives of estate employees, tenant
farmers and labourers who turned Coke's agricultural
vision into a reality.

'The Northenders - a disappeared community' by
Patricia W. Midgley published in 1987 (ISBN 0 9512151
0 8). The lives and times of the fisherfolk at Lynn,
particularly 19th and early 20th century, with dozens
of photographs of people and places to bring the book
alive.

Kind regards
Vera
