  Suffolk has long had a reputation for being largely cut off from the rest of Britain by the sea on one side and the Fens on the other. Even with the coming of the railway it was said, only half in jest, that the county was cut off from London by the Great Eastern Railway . However, as the photographs in this book show, this was far from the truth as the sea, rivers, Fenland waterways and railways served as important means of trade and communication, contributing to the growth of industry in town and countryside.
