Hello Bren,
Thanks for the posting response. I think your information is much more
relevant to our hobby then as recognized. I know here was a Spanish Flu
in 1918 that killed 500,000 in the U.S. in about 6 months and about 10
million (!) worldwide, yet you rarely here of it. Have a great holiday
Best Regards,
Thomas Gould

Regarding the Black Death in Norwich, Frank Meeres says in his book 'A
History of Norwich' 'Plague never came back after 1666, and smallpox was the
most feared disease of the later 17th and 18th centuries. There was an
outbreak in Norwich in 1669-70 ..........There was another outbreak in
1681-2'.
This is an excellent book, I often see topics on the list which are covered
in the book to some degree. It deals specifically with Norwich and not the
whole of Norfolk and covers the history from 925 to present day. ISBN 1
86077 083 5

Bren.
