Norfolk Businesses

Business reminiscence page

Norfolk's ancestors mostly had to be employed and part of learning about these people is learning about the daily activities of going to work.

Photographs of our ancestors at work can tell us many things about their daily lives and sharing memories about past employers can be a way of reminiscing.

We aim to write about as many employers as we can and would be pleased to hear from anyone who would like to share their memories/experiences or knowledge about past and even present long-standing Norfolk businesses. The list will grow. Those in the list without links represent those we need information on. If you would like to add a business with a view to us researching it's past then please contact us :
