It brings out Norwich's individuality and shows how it became the city it is today. While Norwich changed and developed in many ways over the centuries, its textiles could not compete with those of the northern boom towns of the Industrial Revolution. Instead it found a role as a regional and banking capital. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 604 pages. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact. in archive acetate film protection.
