| Summary | "The Norwich Road: An East Anglian Highway" by Charles G. Harper is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work follows the historic Norwich Road, chronicling its evolution from Roman construction through the coaching era to a modern context. Harper’s exploration highlights not only the physical characteristics of the road but also the cultural landscapes, historic sites, and notable figures associated with this significant route. At the start of the book, the author introduces the Norwich Road as a path steeped in history and filled with picturesque landscapes, such as the charming pastoral beauty of East Anglia. Harper whimsically conjures the image of runaway apprentices escaping the confines of London, setting out on foot toward Norwich as an adventure, contrasting this with the modern landscape dominated by railways. The opening also reflects on the road's identity, touching upon the rich tapestry of historical figures, including the infamous Dick Turpin, and the changes that the Norwich Road has witnessed over centuries, providing a detailed backdrop for the narratives to unfold in subsequent chapters.
