Publisher's Synopsis
As recently as 8000 years ago Britain was joined to Europe by a land bridge. As sea levels rose and the North Sea broke through this barrier, Eastern England - with what is now Norfolk at its edge - suddenly became frontier-land, where isolation helped develop an independence of spirit and a singularity of landscape which remains to this day. Aerial photography has helped to uncover the rich history of Norfolk, and in this book remarkable images by Mike Page portray features of its landscape and townscapes across many centuries of this county's past.
