 Industrial activity in 19th century Norfolk and its market towns.

a talk by Adrian O'dell

An introduction to the talk from Adrian

Although Norfolk fortuitously missed out on the heavy "metal-bashing" industry of northern England, our county had a huge range of smaller-scale but wide-spread industries. This presentation investigates the extent of and influences on activity in five market towns. Were industries sited to access locally available resources? Was a specific geographical location or proximity to large urban centres important? Or were local entrepreneurs the driving forces?
