Download or read book Norfolk written by Neil R. Storey and published by Alan Sutton Publishing. This book was released on 1996 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book looks back to traditional ways of life and work that now seem increasingly remote. It includes unforgettable views of the countryside and of farming, and of country crafts and trades like those of the blacksmith and the thatcher. Recalled too are the days before out-of-town supermarkets when coal, milk and groceries were delivered by horse and cart, when high streets were lined with old-fashioned shops and town centres were packed with shoppers and traders on market day. Every aspect of ordinary existence is reflected in the book - work, home, business, leisure, sports, transport, and extraordinary scenes from times of war. And the animals, machines and buildings that played such a large part in country life a century ago are remembered - the windmills, for instance, the horses and the steam railways, the canals and the turnpike roads, the parish churches and chapels that were once the focus of village communities.

Download or read book Norfolk, Nebraska written by and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded in 1866 by German immigrants, Norfolk, Nebraska grew up along the banks of the North Fork of the Elkhorn River. The original 250 settlers founded Madison County's first church and school, and from these humble beginnings grew a town that today is the jewel in the crown of northeast Nebraska and the state's third largest retail area. Showcasing over 200 images, Sheryl Schmeckpeper traces the history of this community from its roots as a Native American campground, to a sleepy farming community, and finally to a bustling city. Although there are many anonymous people pictured here who contributed to the Norfolk of today, readers will recognize the more familiar faces of Herman Gereke, Dr. "Diamond Dick" Tanner, and Johnny Carson. Vividly captured are the landmarks that are gone forever, such as the Granada Theater, the Sugar City Cereal Mill, and the old high school that burned down in 1907. Also included are never before published photographs of the flood of 1944, the blizzard of 1948, and the Chicago Lumber Company fire.
