The Book of Kessingland featured a microcosm oflife in the village since Domesday, but this volumeis a snapshot of Kessingland history and familieswithin living memory; that is, for the last seventyor so years.Once nicknamed Klondyke', the richest village inEngland', due to the fishing industry, there arenow very few fishermen sailing from here, excepta few privately owned non-commercial boats.This book chronicles the decline of this oncegreatindustry, the wartime years and how thevillage reinvented itself as a holiday resort in thepost-war years. Once separated by farmland intotwo 'villages', with friendly rivalry between, aninflux of people from London and Hertfordshirebought new houses and bungalows built on theformer agricultural land, which joined up thevillage geographically and made for an evengreater ethnic mix.A wide range of photographs, representingpeople, places, events, groups, sport andpersonalities encapsulate the life of this vibrantcommunity in the later twentieth- and earlytwenty-first centuries.
