Norwich Market has traded from the same site since the 11^th century. It has survived because it has adapted to meet changing conditions – and change is yet again on the agenda. This morning Frances and Michael Holmes will tell its remarkable story.’

The decision to demolish Bishop Bridge was the catalyst that brought the Norwich Society into being in 1923. This is the story of how they managed to save this part of our Heritage. We will take a virtual tour around Norwich covering many of the other successful campaigns to protect Norwich’s heritage, (as well as some failures). Without the Society’s activities, Norwich would look a lot different today.

This talk is about some of what can been seen around the city that tells you about times past. This includes plaques, boundary markers, street name signs, flood level markers and some memorials. John will also talk separately about war memorials.
