Norwich Market Through The Decades

I recently did a Heritage Walk with Colin which focused on the markets of Norwich including, the Maddermarket, Stump Cross Market, the Cattle Market and of course Norwich market.  Here is an EDP article on Norwich Market.  It has some interesting pictures of the market in years gone by.  Did you know that its origins date back to Norman times?  It was much bigger in medieval times - but how far did it stretch to?  The market was redesigned in 1938 as part of a much larger project - but what was the project?  When did the colourful tent roofs become a fixture?  What was installed in 1976?  And what the result of the overhaul in 2005?  To answer these questions and to find out more information, please select the following link:

There is also a film incorporated into the above article, if you press play, make sure the volume is on (doesn’t have a cross against it), either skip the adverts or wait for them to end, then a short film on Norwich Market will play.  Look out for the pictures of the market with a row of buildings at the back of the market which were presumably demolished in 1938 when it was redesigned.
