The Fakenham and District Community Archive has provided almost all of the photographs and given tremendous support and I would particularly thank Lyn Maple and Chris Chalk. Frank Readhead took many of the other photos.
Fakenham History Society has been very helpful and I would particularly thank Michael Welland and Jim Baldwin of Jim Baldwin Publishing Solutions.
Similarly, the Trail owes much to Phil Tompson of Cafe Menu Systems, our contractor, who has relied heavily on the design advice of Tim Duffy.
I have enjoyed collating the Trail's information and any errors are mine.
