The book looks back to traditional ways of life and work that now seem increasingly remote. It includes unforgettable views of the countryside and of farming, and of country crafts and trades like those of the blacksmith and the thatcher. Recalled too are the days before out-of-town supermarkets when coal, milk and groceries were delivered by horse and cart, when high streets were lined with old-fashioned shops and town centres were packed with shoppers and traders on market day. Every aspect of ordinary existence is reflected in the book - work, home, business, leisure, sports, transport, and extraordinary scenes from times of war. And the animals, machines and buildings that played such a large part in country life a century ago are remembered - the windmills, for instance, the horses and the steam railways, the canals and the turnpike roads, the parish churches and chapels that were once the focus of village communities.

Norfolk has been a center of African-American life since this country's humble beginnings, when indentured African servants arrived in 1619 to the Tidewater region. Since that time, the African-American population has endured the atrocities of slavery, poverty, and inequality, and has emerged, through a remarkable combination of hard work, perseverance, and faith, as a vibrant community and an integral component to the identity and success of Norfolk and surrounding areas.
