Reihe: Little History of

Embark upon a journey through Norfolk's eventful history, from the earliest times to the present day. From the discovery of fossil footprints dating back nearly one million years, to Boudica's revolt, the Roman occupation, the creation of the Norfolk Broads during the Middles Ages and the growth of the textile industry and agricultural advances, this county has always been at the forefront of innovation and the development of our nation. Mustard manufacturing, Viking farmers, friendly invasions and digging up ancient mammoths - we do things differently here in Norfolk.
