Norwich is a city bustling with beautiful historic building’s that come alive when the day turns to night. The Norwich castle is most certainly one of the most striking buildings in the city. It was founded soon after the Norman Conquest. The Domesday Book records that 98 Saxon homes were demolished to make way for the castle. The Normans established a new focus of settlement around the Castle and the area to the west of it: this became known as the “New” or “French” borough, centered on the Normans’ own market place which survives to the present day as Norwich Market.

Norwich received a royal charter from Henry II in 1158, and another one from Richard the Lionheart in 1194. Following a riot in the city in 1274, Norwich has the distinction of being the only English city to be excommunicated by the Pope.

In more recent history, Norwich suffered extensive bomb damage during World War II, affecting large parts of the old city Centre and Victorian terrace housing around the centre. Industry and the rail infrastructure also suffered. The heaviest raids occurred on the nights of 27/28th and 29/30 April 1942; as part of the Baedeker raids (so called because Baedeker’s series of tourist guides to the British Isles were used to select propaganda-rich targets of cultural and historic significance rather than strategic importance).

In 1976 the city’s pioneering spirit was on show when Motum Road in Norwich, allegedly the scene of “a number of accidents over the years”, became the third road in Britain to be equipped with “speed bumps”, intended to encourage adherence to the road’s 30 mph speed limit. The humps, installed at intervals of 50 and 150 yards, stretched twelve feet across the width of the road and their curved profile was, at its highest point, 4 inches (10 cm) high. The responsible quango gave an assurance that the experimental devices would be removed not more than one year following installation.

If you’re interested in your history and would maybe fancy taking a look further into the history of Norwich you’ll be pleased to know the city is full of museums which reflect both the rich history of the City and of Norfolk, as well as wider interests.

Also, if you fancy yourself as a bit of a theatre goer you will be delighted to know there are many theatre’s located around Norwich city centre including the Theatre Royal that has been on its present site for nearly 250 years, through several rebuilding’s and many alterations. The 1300-seat theatre, the largest in the city, hosts a mix of national touring productions including musicals, dance, drama, family shows, stand-up comedians, opera and pop.

Norwich was the eighth most prosperous shopping destination in the UK in 2006. Norwich has an ancient market place, established by the Normans between 1071 and 1074, which is today the largest six-days-a-week open-air market in England! In fact, in October 2006 the city centre was voted the best in the UK, in a shopping satisfaction survey. So if you’re hoping to cram plenty of shopping into your girlie weekend you can rest assured that this is definitely the place to be!
