THE HERRING INDUSTRY, BY MARTIN DODD, SUMMER HOLIDAYS 1952

In the summer of 1952, one young scholar was given the task of producing a thesis on a local industry during the school holidays. He was a boarder at The Norwich School, Norfolk, England. The majority of his fellow school mates chose the shoe industry, which, at the time, was a very flourishing industry in Norfolk. He came from Great Yarmouth and his heart was with the sea, and the local industry in Great Yarmouth was herring fishing.

With the help of the Secretary of Fishing at Great Yarmouth, Mr. G. Haylett. The Oxford Junior Encyclopedia, The Encyclopedia Brittanica, New Books of Knowledge and the Captain of one of the drifters, Mr D.Dyble, and not a computer in sight, he produced the information recorded on these web pages.

For his efforts he received marks of 45 out of 50 and the comment "A good effort."
