Description

Transforming Streets, Transforming Lives

In 1900 the first trams ran in Norwich. They were greeted with awe, as a technological wonder of the age. Their arrival not only revolutionised travel, but also radically changed streets, as buildings were demolished, roads widened, and tracks installed.

This book combines newspaper articles, anecdotes, atmospheric photographs and contemporary documents to vividly illustrate the pivotal role trams played in both the development of Norwich and the lives of its people. It is the story about so much more than a vehicle; it is the story about
how that vehicle transformed a city.

About The Author

Frances and Michael Holmes

We love living in Norwich and not only enjoy researching and documenting projects but also being able to share our work. We are the first to admit that we are more “enthusiasts” than historians and although we set ourselves high standards, we believe that such activity should be fun. As a team we can each work to our strengths which allows us to present our work in a variety of media: books, websites, presentations and film.

Michael has lived in Norwich all of his life, Frances arrived in 1983 for a year but could never find a good enough reason to leave! After a career in IT, Michael is the techie whilst Frances’ background, involving links with both the corporate and voluntary sectors, is used to good effect in organising and researching. We particularly enjoy meeting and working with a huge range of people from many different backgrounds and helping to preserve and promote Norwich’s rich heritage.
