This proved to be the first of the 19 railway books which they compiled together, 18 of them in the Middleton Press series. For anyone who loves reading about the railways across Norfolk and Suffolk they are a fascinating look at our history.

Residents of three north Norfolk villages are a step closer to realising their dream of reinstating their local shop and post office, after bagging £750 towards start-up costs.
The cash has been awarded to Bodham and Beckham Community Shop Project by the Hopkins Plunkett Communities Scheme, a partnership between house builders Hopkins Homes and national charity the Plunkett Foundation which provides practical advice, support and training to new and established community businesses.

A north Norfolk village now has a Christmas tree for its community thanks to a charity grant.
Ryburgh Village Shop has received a grant from the Hopkins Plunkett communities scheme which has allowed them to install a village Christmas tree.
The tree provides a centrepiece for the town’s celebrations and is normally sponsored by local businesses, but this year is funded by the scheme from national charity the Plunkett Foundation and housebuilder Hopkins Homes.
