“Few towns can boast a history so romantic, so fascinating and so unusual as that of Great Yarmouth.  Its origin, its constant struggle against the sea and against foreign invaders, and its proximity to the Low Countries have all added to the Borough’s exciting story.  In the past thousand years these circumstances have combined to produce a race of people proud, hardy, independent, and adventurous.  The Rise of Great Yarmouth tells the story of this struggle.”
