Surprised you didn't take a look on Surrey Street to look at the Norwich Union / Aviva Marble Hall - such an amazing building
@@martintrorey5901 The Marble Hall is beautiful!
@@martintrorey5901 I was also hoping to see The Lanes and the Maddermarket.
I always thought my home town was boring and dull but this has highlighted how beautiful and amazing it is, such a privilege to live here
It really is! when you see it through someone else's eyes
It’s a lovely town
The doors are made of iron and they are lions not griffern you dumb fuck. Also the market is bussiling... unless you go when everything like you did as everything is closed
i want to live there 💔
@@gilly0264 It's a City!
My home town - so lovely to see!
It really is! thanks for watching Carly
City * 😎
Mine too it’s a beautiful city
I'm a Canadian (Toronto, Ontario) who has a friend in Norwich. I think it's fab! How lucky you both are. I'm disappointed that he left out the dragon, though! 🇬🇧
Same
My wife and I are trying to decide where in England to settle after we abandon the States. Your excellent video puts Norwich near the top of our list. Thank you.
Go for it!
I would suggest either Norwich, or Torquay or some nearby town in South Devon. Devon is prettier but much more rain. I live in Birmingham so this is not a parochial, biased view.
@@michaelhughes4466 devon is very boring
Edinburgh often tops quality of life polls
Beautiful city, beautiful Norfolk broads, beautiful coast, safest county in England, low crime rate, you will love it here. 😍
@@ajlook5457 Agreed.
Recently visited from the U.S. Norwich was wonderful. Beautiful architecture, pubs, history and people! We had a great time!
Norwich is my home city and I've lived here all my life. It truly is a fine city! Fun fact: Some scenes in Stardust were also filmed at Elm Hill and in the Cathedral.
Yes I forgot to mention that Anna lol
Stardust is my best film ever.
I moved to oxford and regret it
And the avengers base in a lot of Marvel movies is the Sainsbury art centre at the UEA
@@TheHesK9 wow that's so cool. I'll tell my kids tomorrow, as they're asleep now. They love the avengers. My oldest studies at Norwich City College
I have spent the past 20 years living in Australia, and I can honestly say there hasn't been a day gone by where I haven't thought of my beloved Norwich.
I am so terribly home-sick and can't wait to see my beautiful City again. I'm planning on coming back permanently in the not too distant future, and am so glad to see that it still looks pretty much as I remember it.......apart from some of my favourite shops no longer being there (I could happily spend an hour or more browsing around Hovells).
Your video brought it all back to me so clearly and it brings me great comfort knowing that it is still very familiar and beautiful as ever. I am so excited about returning to Norwich, I can't wait to stroll down Elm Hill and visit the Castle museum again and just enjoy being home again. Thankyou😁
You're welcome , if you are missing home check out more of my video they might help ;-)
Not much changed in Norwich in the past 20 years. Still has its own unique character. I'm sure you will enjoy coming back home.
@@ds1868 I am very pleased and happy to hear that. Thankyou. T C 😊
Wonder if Norwich has sunny day like this during the year ?
@@larrys1234 yes it's mainly sunny during summer and can reach 25 or more degrees
Never changes. Love the city to pieces. This place leaves me with a tear in my heart when I come here and have to leave. Still my son was born here and died. Although from London this feels like home and paradise. Hope to be back soon.
I was born and raised in Norwich
I moved to Australia with my family 16 years ago and it’s so nice to see not much of my city has changed I miss it so much.
I went through middle and high school in Norwich, its grown and changed but remained the same too. Lovely place I feel nostalgic 😌
Thanks for sharing!
fun fact: gravity trampoline place on the riverside used to be Time nightclub, people loved time as the dancefloor upstairs was bouncy, a few years later it was discovered that the foundations were moving and unstable( hence the bouncy floor), its quite apt that it is now a trampoline place!
This is the best documentary on Norwich that I have seen. It touched me that this unique city should have won my heart from the middle of the United States as well as yours from Asia.
Sad seeing Norwich as quiet as that . Any one looking to visit in the future be aware it’s normally really busy! Great City and no where better to go out and about ....
Thanks john
London?
I went yesterday, really busy.
That's my city!! The best thing is that you only scratched the surface with this video!! Not to mention everything else that is just outside the city like the old roman town and such!!
It's only a brief tour
@@WalkWithMeTim I know and I love it! Anytime someone shines a spotlight on this wonderful city it fills me with pride :)
@@trippydrew8492 NOT AS NICE AS IPSWICH BUT Norwich is better then liverpool 🚜🚜🚜🚜
Excited...I am relocating from Hamburg, Germany to Norwich next month so this video really helped me
You're welcome
good luck mate! its a great town
Welcome to Norwich! It is a lovely place to live 😊☺
Welcome to Norwich!
@@rehmatbokhari5370 norwich is a city
Now, I live 20 minutes away from Norwich. I love going there, so much to do!
I’ve only been twice but loved it both times. When I get tired of London I wouldn’t mind living here. Excellent walkabout again Tim.
Couldn't agree more! thanks for watching
That's exactly what I done and it was the best move ever,I live about 7 miles from the city centre in the country....and loving it...
Moved from outer London to central Norwich last year:best thing I ever did!
@@paulrobertson7650 good on ya!
14 dislikes... must be from Ipswich! ;)
Ha ha ha ha
14 strange people 😀x
😂😂
hahaha
Now that made me laugh
These walks are so much better and more slick when you solo, keep up the good work.
Absolutely agree
thanks glad you enjoyed
thanks for watching Daren
@@TheDat1972 more peaceful.
Aww that's a bit mean on Gaby she is so lovely. X
Hi Tim,
Just wanted to say I have lived just outside Norwich for 22 years and regularly go in to the city. After watching your video I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude for where we live, also that I should look up more! Loved the video keep it up buddy!
Thanks max
Indeed Norwich is a fine city and one of my favourite cities in the UK, thank you Tim for sharing another interesting & entertaining vlog 😀👍
My pleasure!
Thank 6ou for the wonderful memories. I was 6 when i left this town, saying goodbye to my grandparents at the railway station, on our way to Australia, in 1963. I do hope to come back soon. I remembervthe market and the city hall where i would wait for my mother, and talk to the left griffin, while she went in to pay a bill.
Watching this just because I miss Norwich. I haven't even been gone long.
thanks Sophie
Beautiful city, impressive, especially that quirky cobbled tudor street Elm Hill.
When you walked into the church in tombland (the wonky building). The reason the path is lower was due to the plauge, too many bodies and not enough space, so the soil level was raised to accommodate them. The roman Catholic cathedral and plantation gardens are also very much hidden gems in plain sight. The prison also used to be the cavalry barracks, hence the iconic shape. Final fun fact is that the nazis party loved Norwich City Hall and based some of thier own buildings on its style.
Just things I learnt doing works for the council and meeting the people who look after the bits and bobs.
Lovely video 👌❤️
OMG didn't know that! thanks for the extra info! remember to hit subscribe ;-)
@Target Trees. Thanks for the extra info… yes, the poor Catholic Cathedral often gets overlooked, and it’s a marvellous sight. I also like to spend time at Strangers Hall for a history fix 🙂. I doubt the Nazis would be impressed with City Hall at present, with some of the hands missing from the tower clock 😕
I'm from the States. Did a Masters at UEA. Graduated in 2019 just before Covid hit. What fine memories of being around Norwich. You really reminded me of those good days. Still a bit sad to see the eerie quietness of the town.
One thing I could take from this town is the inspiration of the fine and long lasting architecture.
agree! thanks for watching
I live in Norfolk and I love Norwich shopping Centre . 🇬🇧🎀🌈❤️🦋 I love Norfolk. I am so proud of Norfolk.
we all are ;-)
I moved to oxford and it’s no where as nice 😥
@@WalkWithMeTim I live in Norwich but I might move to London but that’s a low chance and I wanna
Norwich gal here! The now “cosy club” was indeed a big bank! Also prince of wales road is still very much alive ! Unfortunately some have shut down . But their are lots of nooks and crannies with clubs!
Fantastic walk in Norwich thanks Tim, I passed through this town in 87, and it's completely changed, looking fantastic now. Great video again 👍👏👏😀🌟🌟🌟🌟
thanks for watching
Really enjoyed that tour of Norwich, I'm always rushing around when I go and never stop to appreciate the buildings and architecture. Think I will slow down next time and look around me. Thank you.
Thanks Samantha
So much nostalgia. I grew up in Norwich in the 90s and early 00's and all the memories have come flooding back 😊. Truly a fine city!
I think it was Norwich I went to see when I was staying with a friend in Cromer, 21 years ago!
I lost contact with the friend & almost forgot the place but I remember the Cathedral & the old stone buildings, at the time I thought they were churches & chapels on every corner!
I remember Cromer Pier well with the big hotel facing it & I remember the winding streets in Cromer.
They are the only 2 places I've been to in East Anglia.
Thanks Tim, I've finally found out which part of the country is East Anglia, I thought it was near Newcastle & Hull! Very interesting blog on Norwich, the old quaint character of the buildings reminds me of Chester.
Aww shame to walk around the market during corona, it’s usually full of produce and people! I just love Norwich 🥰
Thanks for watching claire
i live in norwich for uni, avengers used UEAs sainsburys center, harry potter used norwich cathedral, jingle jangle used elm hill, lots and lots of histroy everywhere that despite living there for three years now, i have barely seen half of it.
Thanks for watching ryan
@@WalkWithMeTim was a pleasure to watch
I was lucky on several occasions to get on aircraft test flights from luton to Norwich airport doing touch and goes on various jets .And I can honestly say looking at Norwich from above from the cathedral to the various areas of the Norfolk broads on a beautiful sunny day it was a wonderful site . I never envisaged how vast the Broads and Norwich was . I will look for some of the dvd shots I took as we went round . Again another great presentation on my favourite part of the uk . Keep it going
Thanks Steve very kind to say!
I like your video! It made me miss Norwich. I graduated from UEA in 1995. I think I'll plan a trip to visit Norwich and my alma mater. Thank you, Tim!
Norwich is my home town.
I have currently been living and working I Australia for 2 and a half years and its been really difficult as im only here on a temporary visa so if I leave the country I cannot return.
Seeing Norwich like this has reminded me how much character it has and I do miss home a great deal.
thanks for watching Sean
There's a nice sense of light & space, because it's built on flat, open land. A real sense of beautiful light
Us Norwich peeps live in Toronto now. So nice to have a little walk round with you. Thanks Tim.
My pleasure
Castle Mall or Castle Quarter is a very impressive shopping centre in my opinion. I liked the organ music.
Lol
My home city so amazing even better with the Christmas lights
Defo , thanks for jake
I love the old Victorian arcades. There were two in Bournemouth that I remember as a small boy. I think they are still there, or at least one of them is. I always remember them as being very grand. The one in Norwich is no exception. Who needs big flashy shopping complexes, when you can have a really classy shopping Arcade. 😁 Thank you Tim. Another great tour.
Great video and it brings back good memories. I lived, for years, around Norwich in Blofield, Weston Longville, Horsford, Hethersett and finally Easton. I adore Norwich and Norfolk and really miss it, now that I live 200 miles away!
Hi Tim, really liked the video. I watched this a few weeks ago the day before I went to Norwich for two nights. My family are moving up to the area and I wanted to see what it was like before I went. Really liked Norwich and your video surprised me with how nice a city it is. It's definitely a hidden gem.
Fantastic!
I love your video of Norwich. I like the hustle and bustle of the city. The fact you get the oportunity during the pandemic to film and not have interruptions by traffic is a bonus!
Gravity was Lava and Ignite nightclubs back in the day.
Gravity started off life as Time Nightclub
Looking forward to seeing this walk Tim.
I hope it doesn't disappoint!
I plan to move here from london it’s a beautiful place. Green, peaceful but everything you need
Great video. Went to uni in Norwich from 1999 and have some great memories. Go back there every year now for a pilgrimage and a tour of the pubs.
you are welcome
Wow how amazing Norwich was with all those old buildings and where they film thank you Tim for doing Norwich definitely on my to do list now
My pleasure!
I can't wait to move to Norwich, hopefully by the end of November or even earlier. Love the city. Love from Suffolk
Lovely video again. As a norwich city fan this one was particularly good. Love all the ones you do, great to see and learn about a county so dear to my heart.
Many thanks!
The Cathedral & side street architecture was amazing.❤
Loved the other 1066 place too!
Don’t live in Norfolk anymore, it was very interesting to see you walk around where I walked a lot very much enjoyed this video
Thanks remember to subscribe
I definitely need to explore this city more; that market square is amazing given how many sights are within a stones throw away!
Thanks for watching
THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO TIM... I WHO HAVE LIVED AND WORKED IN NORWICH, APPRECIATE AND AM IMMENSELY THANKFUL... FEELING THE BEAUTIFUL NORWICH CLOSE AGAIN... I HAD TO LEAVE... SADLY... I'VE BEEN THERE TO HELP DURING COVID... 2021. NORFOLK AS WELL...
You are very welcome
I love my hometown after seeing it through your camera.
A great city to visit. Been twice pre Covid, the market was bustling with some great stalls and little food outlets. The city has a very friendly vibe to it. Ideal for a quieter city break.
Very true
The old bridge you walked over on magdalen street used to be where the ducking stool was for those poor unfortunate 'witches' loved watching this video with my boys as we walk around all these areas on an almost weekly basis, they really enjoyed seeing it all on youtube!
You're welcome
15:30 - you asked about the little blue door into Ethelbert Gate, it leads up above the actual gateway and is used as a school classroom for the Norwich School (formerly known as King Edward School) which is mainly based in the Cathedral Close to the left of the actual Cathedral as you walk through Erpingham Gate from Tombland (you went through Erpingham Gate on your way to the Cathedral). Quick bit of local knowledge for you, that Gate is named after Sir Thomas Erpingham who was in charge of King Henry V's archers at the Battle of Agincourt, Sir Thomas is also buried within the Cathedral as well as having a Gate named after him). Awesome video and I'm really glad to see someone really enjoys walking around this fine city I live in 🙂
Wow .. you have so much knowledge about Norwich, Thank for this
Fantastic city ,never expected it like this , brilliant streets and buildings ,it's defo a hidden treasure to alot if us ,thanks Tim ,also Norwich fans , am manu utd and Halifax fan you should be back up in premiership Soon 👍
yes fingers crossed
Just love the colour of the sky.
:-)
It's hard to appreciate a city you live in, but Norwich is stacked with history if that's your thing.
agree
Watching this makes me homesick!
Sorry to hear that nick
Another wow… and somewhere else I need to visit.
Thanks for the interesting vlog from 2yrs ago.
i have lived there since 2013 after i moved to the UK. i do not want to live anywhere else. beautiful city, great people.
Great tour of Norwich Tim really enjoyed it thanks 👍
My pleasure thanks for watching
I live in lowestoft and I always go here and I love it. I'd love to live there when I'm older because it's much better and there is not as much traffic as lowestoft
I was there in 2019 and this gave me the feelings of being there again ( i was an exchange student ) tnks 🥺
You're welcome thanks for watching, remember to hit subscribe
The cosy club used to be the main natwest in Norwich 🙂
Thanks Christan
If you go into the cosy club the original decor of the bank is still there. Its beautiful and worth a visit
awwwww it’s been ages to be in Norwich. it reminds me of all the streets and spots I’ve been to. Thanks for the clip 👍🏻👍🏻
You’re welcome 😊 remember to hit subscribe
My in-laws live in and around Norwich, I always love visiting. I live in Greater Manchester and i even love the drive as there are not many hills and lots of flat land for miles.
Hi Tim. Another great video. Norwich is such an underrated city. Just beautiful. Have you checked out the wonderfully spooky Adam & Eve pub? It isn't far from the Cathedral. Also, it is the starting point for the Norwich ghost walks. Really recommend. Cheers.
I will check it out
Lovely walk Tim . Beautiful place . You do a lot for tourism for these towns. Hope they appreciate that when things open up again. Have a great day Tim and Gaby. 😀👍👏🏻
thanks for watching Mel
@@WalkWithMeTim you are welcome Tim. ☀️
I was stationed at Coltishall but in 1992,I filmed a game show called Jumble at Anglia TV.
Loved Norwich, its a wonderful city.
wow!
Awwwww Tim......you made me REALLY homesick watching your video. Lived in Costessey from 1969-1991 when my husband decided to change jobs and move us to Swindon! ALWAYS say im going home when i go to Norwich 😍. Also been a NCFC fan since i was 9 now 60 n spent most of my youth at Carrow Rd 💚💛⚽💛💚. Norwich has sooooo much history.....never really appreciated it when i was younger though! Great beaches close by too. Thanks for taking me down memory lane and when covid restrictions lift more i shall be straight home visiting family! 👍🏻. Thanx again x
Thanks lin for the comment, glad you enjoyed it ... its always good to see through someone else's eyes
Thank you so much for showing some highlights of Norwich I have never noticed before. Lived here all my life! For your info 😅 The Cosy Club was Natwest Bank I worked there once the building is stunning inside so worth a visit even as a bar/restaurant
Glad you enjoyed it! Louisa
Another great video thanks Tim! Cosy club that you asked what it was before was the nat west bank and I used to work in there! So pleased it's being used for something else as it's a beautiful building.
hi Gavin, I thought so .. thanks for watching
I grew up in North Norfolk and went to school at the posh one in the Cathedral Close. Many hundreds of times walking through Tombland. Very sad to see the clubs closed (I realise this is filmed 3 yrs ago), as I can remember going out regularly to Hys in tombland and then Liquid… and my favourite was Time down on riverside… with the bouncy floor!
I took my kids camping a year ago in Norfolk and took them round my old stomping ground… they loved the Castle mall… and how different it is to any other shopping place they’d been to…
Did you not fancy a quick sprint down Magdalen Street and go to Anglia Square?
I also took my kids to the UEA and the posed where they shot the scenes for the Avengers compound just outside the Sainsbury Centre.
I do miss Norwich since I moved to Suffolk in 2005 and then to Wales in 2013… always enjoy going back even if it is only occasionally now.
Great vid.
Loved this. Thank you for filming such a great city. From SW Australia
Our pleasure!
Great walk tim, I love Norwich beautiful place
Glad you enjoyed it
This is a very well-made walking tour video 📹
Thanks
Fantastic video as always.
Mousehold Heath is famous for Ketts rebellion. And at one time the Heath spread further towards heartsease. Where the roads are now and dunelm etc are all used to be part of mousehold Heath. Shame they replaced it with roads though.
yes its very big
The area at the top of Gurney road at Mousehold, the retail park, school, sport field and houses used to be a WW1 airfield called Royal Air Force Mousehold Heath. A couple of aircraft crashed on the Heath during world war two.
@@davegoldsmith4020 there’s a spot somewhere that marks it I think in the school field.
@@Tiggysmum The memorial plaque to the crashed aircraft is on the bank just past the junction of Gurney road/ Mousehold Ave
Great video, I have recently moved to the area and really appreciate this tour. Great positive energy you give out and a lovely presentation style. Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you!
You've really caught the essence of Norwich there; well done. And I even saw my old office window at City Hall! Cosy Club used to be a branch of National Westminster Bank.
Thanks Deanna
Cosy Club restaurant was Natwest bank, before the bank it was the Corn Exchange.
There have been a few burials found in Tombland, it was the site of a church, and there were plague pits nearby, there was another church in the cathedral grounds
Plague pits ! yikes
Thanks for sharing,i intend to visit Norwich soon.This is very insightful.Great city.
Thanks Kathy
Great video reminded me what a fantastic place Norwich is, I must have another weekend break there soon
thanks for watching Martin!
Hi Tim loved your tour of Norwich. Sounds great for a city break. Marie
Glad you enjoyed it Marie
We live there!!! Norwich is definitely one of a kind.
Very true
Tomeland alley was a burial site during the plague I'm a local and learned about it in school, cool vid dude.
Hey thanks 😊
Great video Tim. We were in Norwich in 2016, went to ElmHill, The Market, The Castle, Cathedral and The Famous Mustard shop.
Mustard .. yuck lol thanks for watching
@@WalkWithMeTim my wife loves mustard that's why we had to go there
Mercy Nightclub being turned in to something like 30 apartments with a penthouse suite, Gym & Coffee shop downstairs.
P.s do Cambridge - Thanks.
yes I thought so
will be up in next few weeks
Loved this! A Norwich old'un now, I recall a 1950s city with a 'county town' ambiance, a large cattle market dominating its centre. Anglia TV became a major player - think _Sale Of The Century, Survival, Tales Of The Unexpected,_ etc. The Victorian train station (then Norwich Thorpe Station) starred in _The Go Between._ Prince of Wales Road, once a charming Edwardian avenue, declined into a noisy vomfest whenever 'clubland' emptied out, a ghastly low point. City Hall, a '30s gem, was inspired by Stockholm's, hence its clean Scandinavian vibe. Btw, those are lions, not griffins (no eagle's head)! I wandered Elm Hill as a boy, and it's great that it's still so original. The Forum, home of BBC East, rose majestically from the ashes of the uninspiring '60s library building that burned down despite its being 100 yards from the fire station. The revamped Theatre Royal is greatly improved. And nowadays-ubiquitous pedestrianisation was pioneered in 1960's Norwich's London Street. The Castle and Cathedral are both 11C early Norman, originally of Caen (Normandy) stone, though the castle was refaced with English Bath stone in the 19C. The big open Market was all rickety stalls when I was young - its reinvention was necessary for health and safety reasons and, Covid notwithstanding, it's a vibrant retail wonder.
Wow , nice thanks for the info and history
I grew up in Norwich, a great City.
A great walk around my fine city of Norwich. It's worth a walk through the cathedral and visit Cow Tower and The Adam and Eve pub.
The brain statue etc. is being removed at some point for flower beds and a water fountain.
The old Mercey club on POW road is going to be turned into flats. Liquid is supposedly reopening at some point. Although, given Covid I cannot see that happening myself.
The Prince of Wales pub is reopening as well at some point.
Beautifully shot! ❤️
Thanks
I loved that tour Tim. Not been there for many years will be booking in to visit 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Gilly
Nice one Tim 😊
Really is a beautiful city 🥰
See you next time
Thanks! 😃
Great video again Tim. Never been, but now definitely on our to visit list this year now. Looks beautiful.
You should! thanks for watching
Love Norwich!! Thank you for this!
Thanks Gemma
