Produktinformationen "The Little Book of Essex"
Did you know? In the eleventh century, Edward the Confessor banished nightingales from the royal palace at Havering-atte-Bower because their singing disturbed his devotions. In 1913, Benny Hucks of Stansted Mountfitchet was the first person to perform a loop-the-loop in an aircraft. On Boxing Day 1946, Hatfield Heath villagers challenged local German and Italian POWs to a football match - and lost 11-0. Brentwood was the first town in Britain to install CCTV. A compendium of frivolity, a reference book of little-known facts and a wacky guide to one of England's most colorful counties, The Little Book of Essex is packed full of entertaining, bite-sized pieces of historic and contemporary trivia that come together to make essential reading for visitors and locals alike. Dip in randomly or read consecutively - there are no rules. Be amused and amazed at the stories and history of Essex's landscape, heritage, buildings and, above all, its people.
