Old Catton In the
20th Century - From Country Village to City Suburb
In 2000, the Old Catton
Society published this 104 page book. Written and
researched by two members of the Society, the book tells
the story of the development of a small village close to
Norwich, with a population of 600 at the beginning of
the 20th century, into a fringe suburb of the city with
a population of around 6,000 by the year 2000.
Illustrated with 42 black
and white photographs collected by the Society, the book
is based largely on the documentary and aural evidence
of the senior residents of the village gathered by the
committee as part of their historic archive.
Amongst its tales of
day-to-day life in the village, the book focuses on
events in the two world wars, the comings and goings of
the Cat On The Barrel village sign, Catton Hall and
school and church developments.
