Index.
This book gives an insight into some aspects of life in North Walsham in the 19th century. It is produced as a result of the enthusiasm and hard work of a small, dedicated team who have spent many hours researching and writing. Particular mention should be made of Kathlene Grimes and Iris Marshall, both contributors to 'North Walsham in the 18th Century' as it is due to their efforts that this local history group was first set up. It has given me much pleasure to work with the group and I thank them for their support and hospitality at our many meetings. I also thank them for their sustained efforts and for their patience in the arduous and, sometimes, tedious tasks involved in the production of this book. It is realised that only a small fraction of the town's history has been explored and it is hoped that some readers will be sufficiently stimulated to make further exploration.
