Wanted Book on Social History of East England

[Debbie Bozkurt]

Does anyone know what book I could buy on the 'habits', lives etc. of Agricultural Labourers etc. from the Cambridgeshire, Norfolk area in Victorian Years. I have had my head researching my family around this area for a number of months. Have come to some of my own, maybe incorrect conclusions on for example whether the Railways were the saviour of the poor labourers. Would also be interested on the attitude to marriage, illegitimacy etc. I guess what I am looking for is a Social and Economic History of the area.

Not sure where to start looking, has anyone found anything interesting and fairly easy to read and understand.

Thanks

Debbie

Debbie,

Try Google Books: http://books.google.com/ and throw into the search box Norfolk Social and Economic History

I did just that and had more results than you could shake a stick at :o
