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.
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.
Recently visited from the U.S. Norwich was wonderful. Beautiful architecture, pubs, history and people! We had a great time!
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.
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!
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
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
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!
14 dislikes... must be from Ipswich! ;)
Ha ha ha ha
14 strange people 😀x
😂😂
hahaha
Now that made me laugh
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.
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 😕
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
Watching this just because I miss Norwich. I haven't even been gone long.
thanks Sophie
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 🚜🚜🚜🚜
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.
Now, I live 20 minutes away from Norwich. I love going there, so much to do!
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
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
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
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
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
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!
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!
Beautiful city, impressive, especially that quirky cobbled tudor street Elm Hill.
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
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
My home city so amazing even better with the Christmas lights
Defo , thanks for jake
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
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.
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!
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!
There's a nice sense of light & space, because it's built on flat, open land. A real sense of beautiful light
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
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!
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
Castle Mall or Castle Quarter is a very impressive shopping centre in my opinion. I liked the organ music.
Lol
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.
Looking forward to seeing this walk Tim.
I hope it doesn't disappoint!
Great video again Tim. Never been, but now definitely on our to visit list this year now. Looks beautiful.
You should! thanks for watching
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!
Have many fond memories of Norwich. Lovely city! Must visit again someday. Great video !
Glad you enjoyed it
Just to let you know Tombland was the Old English name for open ground and the market was held there until the cathedral was built. It has nothing to do with the plague. The skeletons found are thought to belong to a church that was demolished when they built the cathedral.
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
It's hard to appreciate a city you live in, but Norwich is stacked with history if that's your thing.
agree
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!
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!
There's so much of Norwich I haven't seen yet. Thanks for showing me around 😄
You’re welcome 😊
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
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
Great tour of Norwich Tim really enjoyed it thanks 👍
My pleasure thanks for watching
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. ☀️
Another wow… and somewhere else I need to visit.
Thanks for the interesting vlog from 2yrs ago.
Great video Tim excellent content excellent quality all along with you makes for excellent entertainment. Keep it up.
Thanks, will do!
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!
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
The Cathedral & side street architecture was amazing.❤
Loved the other 1066 place too!
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!
Great video reminded me what a fantastic place Norwich is, I must have another weekend break there soon
thanks for watching Martin!
Us Norwich peeps live in Toronto now. So nice to have a little walk round with you. Thanks Tim.
My pleasure
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
Did you know Norwich has enough pubs for you to go to a new one everyday of a year and enough church’s for a new one every Sunday
Yes I did , maybe I should give it a try
Amazing! Cool! Thank you for this! I had a super time watching your journey! Always great to pass time here. Appreciate your channel so much. : )
Thanks for watching!
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
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
Great video as always, I’ve actually got a one night stop over booked in early July in Great Yarmouth. This video has helped me to decide to visit Norwich on the way home afterwards, weather permitting.
Glad it was helpful! thanks for watching Richard
Great walk tim, I love Norwich beautiful place
Glad you enjoyed it
Born here live here its a blimin lovely place
Very Useful!!
Thank you!
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
Decades since I went to Norwich, great little tour.
Glad you enjoyed it Andy thanks
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.
Brilliant really informative really enjoy it thanks 🙏 Tim...
Very welcome
Loved this. Thank you for filming such a great city. From SW Australia
Our pleasure!
Hi Tim really enjoyed this great vlog take care love as always Tracey 💕 xxxx
Glad you enjoyed it Tracey
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
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.
Love how you completely ignore the old prison behind you at the end 🙈🤦🏻♂️😂
to be honest I didn't know that was there until after I shot the video ...epic fail on my part lol
Thanks for sharing,i intend to visit Norwich soon.This is very insightful.Great city.
Thanks Kathy
Love Norwich!! Thank you for this!
Thanks Gemma
Another great walk thanks 👍

Glad you enjoyed it Marie
Really good. I have never walked the Riverside and now I want to visit again. Thanks
You should Debby thanks for watching
Beautiful city. Great sharing. Thank you.
Thanks for visiting
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
Great video Tim.👍
Thanks Shirley
Watching this makes me homesick!
Sorry to hear that nick
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
I love my hometown after seeing it through your camera.
Hi
Thanks again Tim. Norwich looks expensive but i can't wait to visit.
lol in places
There is a series of books based in Tudor times by C J Samson the latest is called Tombland and is based around Norwich, interesting if you like history.
Thanks colin
I can't wait to move to Norwich, hopefully by the end of November or even earlier. Love the city. Love from Suffolk
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
Great tour! I truly love living here! Mercy is being made into some apartments also I believe!
Yes think so , I wonder when people move in they will know the history 🤔
