4.51 Chris Denham's post office and shop was taken over by his Daughter Joanne. :)

There was also a club called Peoples behind Anglia Square somewhere and I remember seeing Odessey and Rose Royce there.

Excellent.

I love these. Please keep making them. They make me feel closer to my grandparents who are now gone

The toilets in Tombland were always full of pervy old men in the 70's!

This brings back so many memories. I lived on Colman Road, very near Jenny Lind and had a broken arm plastered there around 1968. Also, 2 of my sons were born in the Norfolk and Norwich. Lastly, my father passed away in Priscilla Lodge.

Which building used to be Boswells resturant? They also had a nightclub above the resturant but I can't remember its name. Probably just Boswells...

I'd forgotten all about the The Noverre. Very intimate little cinema which showed slightly, Arty films.

There was a toilet on the corner of Bishops gate as you come through the the Cathedral close gates

Every time you mention Zaks, my mouth starts to water.

Love all your videos John. Can I just mention that I usually get a humming noise on the sound. Not sure why, but I don't get it on any other You Tube videos? I watch via the You Tube app on my Sky Q box and my TV. Not sure if anybody else has this humming sound issue?

Nice video mate! Do you have any information on city of Norwich school during ww2?? I’ve been told a bomb was dropped on/near the school, but never been able to find any decent sources.

Hi John. I'm currently working my way randomly through all of your videos and reliving my childhood/youth. Excellent videos and hugely entertaining. Do you do requests? Bit cheeky I know, but I'd love to see a detailed visit to St. Benedicts, and/or Colman road from Unthank road junction to Earlham road juntion. Keep up the good work and thank you for all you do for us home sick ex pats and everyone else.

It's a shame you missed out the second hand record stores. Perhaps in another video.

Thank you John, great to see so much lost history.

Paul Simon played the Mischief? Who knew. Loved knowing some of the legend that have played in various haunts. Great video.

Nicely done. Keep it up.

Love your posts but one request from me, please increase the time each image is show if possible as I often find I’m only just orienting myself as to where the image is/what changes have taken place before the image disappears. Thanks again and keep them coming 👍

I used to go fishing under Cringleford bridge. We'd paddle under the bridge to get to the other side which was always private land.

Such as shame that much of our city is now characterless boxes. Most of detest the 60's concrete box building, so why planners think we want new ones, but just with cladding on them, is beyond me.

Well researched and a delight to watch. You also have the ideal voice for your commentaries!

Such a waste of a massive space that they aren't developing it now. It really is a blight on Norwich which is otherwise a really nice city. Yet right in it's center is this grotty grey slum. I'd rather they develop housing there than keep bulldozing and concreting over the countryside as they seem hell bent on doing everywhere around Norfolk now.

The building between the Free Library and Dukes Palace PH was No.4 Duke Street the black & white picture shows it clearly with two steps up to the door and the path sloping down towards the river. The picture of the “present day equivalent” is in fact on the other side of Duke Street, it has no steps and the path slops in the opposite direction to the left is Charing Cross. In 1965 I started work in the Eastern Electricity Boards, Norwich District drawing office of the engineering department which was situated inside No.4 Duke Street and before WWII was the original offices of the Norwich Corporation Electricity Department including the very same drawing office which my Dad had worked in before the war had started.

Amazing john really enjoyed that, thank you so much

THank you so interesting

Interesting as always John. Thank you 🙏

At 06:02 I can see just to the right of the end of St Giles church the second building along (after the white one) on the lefthand side of St Giles St where I lived from October 1976 to April 1977. My bedsit was the top righthand window. How strange to see it again but from an angle I never saw it. I walked from there to my ghastly clerical job in Norwich Union. I left Norwich at the end of the summer to go to Durham University.

What a fascinating view at the beginning of your video! It was a great idea to ask the question and reveal the answer at the end. I admire the lengths you go to get the present-day shot as near as possible to where the historic photo was taken. Interestingly, sometimes the present view looks virtually the same as before and sometimes totally different. Thanks for another well-researched and enjoyable video.

Excellent video

Excellent video John - super start to 2025 . I very much look forward to what else you put together for us this year. Happy new year John, happy videoing and best wishes x

Another excellent video John. An interesting take on the presentation. 😊

Good stuff John, and I like the addition of the dots on the maps to show the photo location. I love these time scales because it's my nanny and grandad's time when they were younger.

Excellent as usual. Thank you.

Great video John 👍

Excellent presentation as ever. Proud to say I managed to supress my instinct and say St. James Hill, and with a bit of help from Google Earth, found the spot exactly. St. Peter Mancroft, the castle, Jarrolds and the Catholic catethdral helped ;-)

John, another excellent production and a great way to start 2025. Looking forward to your next piece. Thank you.

There are 5 thatched buildings in the city.

The view from the 35th Norwich Sea Scout hut brought back happy memories of my cub and scouting youth, the money-raising events held with garden fates hot dogs cooking in the Dell, and jumble sales. Thanks, Mr Atkins for another great post.

Happy New Year John, and thanks for the first video of 2025.This was another of your videos where I saw the odd old photo but knew where the photo was taken even though they had totally changed.

Amazing and audio sounds superb 🙏✌️🙌

Thank you John. I really look forward to each instalment

Brilliantly put together video. Well done.

Very interesting, thanks for this John.

What a great start to 2025 John! A thoroughly enjoyable and relatable video as always, thank you 🙂

Love your videos John Whilst these videos are a superb resource today, just imagine what you're creating for future generations! Brilliant! Keep up the excellent work. 👍

Thanks for another fascinating video. As ever so much and, sometimes, so little has changed. Looking forward to seeing more interesting content in 2025. Hoping that The Festive Season was enjoyable.

You've done it again John! I was going for a quick visit to the City today to pick up a few odds and ends, now I'm going to have to wander about all day seeking out all these places! Thanks for posting and thanks for all your hard work and research. 😊

Thank you. How interesting.

Norwich already has a bond street😀

I never realised how ugly metal railing everywhere looks until I saw these comparison pictures with how the streets used to look.
