As usual Natalie, there is plenty to think about here. I find the North Norfolk coast such an other-worldly place, almost hauntingly so. The salt marshes at sunset and the call of the Curlew have the capacity to transport one back to an age before the onset of post-industrial social problems you describe. Of course the irony in this is that the people who worked on the marshes must have faced their own social problems as their way of life gradually disappeared with the march of 'progress'. Nothing is new I suppose.
Thank you. Great to hear you enjoyed it. I'm interested to know more about the people who worked in Norfolk's agricultural communities. Perhaps I will dig out the rural issue of the 1850s social study 'Labour and the Poor' for a future Instagram series @longagogrotto
