"The Newmarket, Bury, Thetford and Cromer Road" by Charles G. Harper is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the intriguing history and lore of a significant East Anglian turnpike road, examining its evolution and the social context surrounding it.

The opening of the book introduces readers to the remote and historically rich journey from London to Newmarket, detailing the various waypoints along the route and the challenges faced by early travelers. Harper describes the road's desolation, characterizing it as lonely and dreary, yet imbued with interesting landscapes and historical significance.
