"The Norwich Road: An East Anglian Highway" by Charles G. Harper is a journey down a historic path, from old Roman roads through bustling coaching days to contemporary times. The story focuses less on the road itself and more on the vibrant culture, landmarks, and remarkable people linked to it. The book starts by painting the Norwich Road as a place of beauty and rich history. The narrative contrasts images of escaping youth finding freedom with the new railways on the horizon. It also hints at a mix of famous and maybe infamous characters who define the road's past, building anticipation for the stories which follow.
