Norwich…

From Wells-next-the-Sea we drove south-east to Norwich, now in something of a backwater but once the second largest city in the land after London. Our main aim was to see the delightfully intact (despite Nazi bombing) old town and the cathedral. The best way to share what we did is through pictures…

Here are details of the Arts and Crafts-style Royal Arcade, designed by local architect George Skipper and opened in 1889.

Then such a wealth of styles dating from the 15th century onwards…

And finally, the cathedral, less awesome and highly decorated than Lincoln but perhaps more elegant – more feminine?

Plus – the highlight!
