Shopping Areas in Norwich in general

Norwich and East Anglia in general can be perceived from the outside as a little too laid back and perhaps detached from modern society. Well the truth is that everywhere you look now there is re-development occurring. In recent years Norwich has seen a massive change in it’s shopping districts. We used to have the city centre and a few out of town industrial areas to cater for the shoppers. But now there is probably too much choice in the city. It all started with the Castle Mall, a massive undertaking that saw the ground around the historic castle burrowed out. I can remember years back going into the city and seeing the deep pits, it’s hard to imagine that ...  Read the complete review

If you enter Norwich you'll notice that we say we're a fine city and we are, maybe not the best city in the UK but you could do far worse. To serve the thousands that live in the city and surrounding countryside you of course need places to shop. Places where you can sniff out bargains and indulge in some retail therapy Norwich of course has plenty to offer. In the eighties you had two main places to shop in Norwich, there was of course the city centre and also the main street that leads in named Magdelen Street. Here you had an abundance of chain stored etc to meet your every need. But at the end of the decade plans were afoot to develop the ground ...  Read the complete review

You could spend hours walking around Norwich, and still miss out on some of the treats! I am not originally from Norwich, and it is only thanks to my boyfriend that I have had the opportunity for a great shopping treat. There are so many areas within Norwich City centre that I am not sure where to start. I think the best place is the market. A permanent fixture, it is like an undercover maze. There are stalls selling everything from fruit and veg, through to towels and then onto fresh meat and poultry.
