There is nothing ‘little’ about the history of Essex! However, this small volume condenses that fascinating, rich history into a collection of stories and facts that will make you marvel at the events our county has witnessed.
Discover the development of ship building at Harwich, the silk and woollen industries in central Essex, the fortunes of Chelmsford and Colchester and the rise of seaside resorts at Southend and Clacton. Take a journey through Essex’s historic struggles and celebrations or jump in to the era of your choice to discover the who, what and why of our county’s history.
Essex born and bred, JUDITH WILLIAM's interest in the history of her home county was sparked during her work as a community columnist for local newspapers. She has now written ten local history books, six of them for The History Press. She is a member of a local heritage trust, gives talks to clubs and societies on local history and, for over ten years, has taught a local history leisure course at an adult community college.
