It is the county town of Norfolk and is considered the capital of East Anglia, with a population of 141,300. From the Middle Ages until the Industrial Revolution, Norwich was the largest city in England after London, and one of the most important.
The city is the most complete medieval city in the United Kingdom, including cobbled streets such as Elm Hill, Timber Hill and Tombland, ancient buildings such as St Andrew's Hall, half-timbered houses such as Dragon Hall, The Guildhall and Strangers' Hall, the Art Nouveau of the 1899 Royal Arcade, many medieval lanes and the winding River Wensum that flows through the city centre towards Norwich Castle.
The city has two universities, the University of East Anglia and the Norwich University of the Arts, and two cathedrals, Norwich Cathedral and St John the Baptist Cathedral.
Norwich holds the largest permanent undercover market in Europe. The urban area of Norwich had a population of 213,166 according to the 2011 Census. The parliamentary seats cross over into adjacent local government districts. A total of 132,512 (2011 census) people live in the City of Norwich, and the population of the Norwich Travel to Work Area (i.e., the self-contained labour market area in and around Norwich in which most people live and commute to work) is 282,000 (mid-2009 estimate).
Norwich is the fourth most densely populated local government district in the East of England, with 3,480 people per square kilometre (8,993 per square mile).
In May 2012, Norwich was designated England's first UNESCO City of Literature. One of the UK's most popular tourist destinations, it was voted by The Guardian in 2016 as the happiest city to work in the UKand in 2013 as one of the best small cities in the world by The Times Good University Guide. In 2018, Norwich was voted one of the Best Places To Live in the UK by The Sunday Times.
Но́ридж — город (сити) на реке Уэнсум[en] в Восточной Англии, расположенный приблизительно в 165 км к северо-востоку от Лондона. Является региональным административным центром Восточной Англии и главным городом графства Норфолк. В период от средневековья до промышленной революции, Норидж был одним из наиболее важных и крупнейшим городом Англии, после Лондона.
Памятниками экономического благополучия тех лет являются многочисленные старинные церкви (их сохранилось не менее тридцати) и Нориджская ратуша, построенная в XV веке по образцу аналогичных сооружений во Фландрии. Нориджский собор Троицы начал строиться вскоре после Норманского завоевания, о чём свидетельствует архитектура апсиды и нефа, весьма близкая романским храмам Северной Франции.
Просторная аркада-клуатр (одна из самых больших в стране) и каменный шпиль XV века (один из самых высоких в Англии, высота 96 м) — характерные образцы готического зодчества. В Нориджском замке XII века помещается собрание местного музея, особенно богатое полотнами художников нориджской школы пейзажистов (начало XIX века).
Значение города пошатнулось в XVIII веке, в связи с экономическим подъёмом Манчестера, Глазго и других промышленных центров на севере страны. В настоящее время в Норидже развита преимущественно обувная промышленность. В 1964 году был учреждён Университет Восточной Англии. Из культурных учреждений в Норидже имеется небольшой театр.

Dragon Hall's carved dragon comes to life - Norwich 12 building
A short virtual reality film featuring the famous carved dragon in Norwich's Dragon Hall coming to life and flying around the building as he talks about the history of Dragon Hall and the re-discovery and restoration of the buildings.
Dragon Hall is one of the Norwich 12 iconic buildings covering 1,000 years of history.
In the film, the dragon talks to Robert Toppes, the merchant who built Dragon Hall as a trading hall in the fifteenth century by the river Wensum, as he prepares some of his goods to trade with the Low Countries.
The film is an exciting collaborative project between Norwich Heritage Economic and Regeneration Trust (HEART) and the University of East Anglia's Urban Modelling Group, designed to use innovative technology to generate more interest and understanding of the city's history.
Update Feb 2015: Please note that Dragon Hall is now managed by Writers' Centre Norwich - please visit their website at for information on events and tours.

Royal Arcade in Norwich, UK
SEE MY HISTORY GROUP ON FACEBOOK :
The Royal Arcade in Norwich was opened in 1899 and was built by George Skipper. It is one of the most attractive old shopping arcades to be found in the UK in my opinion.
My channel on you tube : is one of the most prolific from Poland, although unfortunately not the most visited. With almost one film per day, one may be forgiven for thinking I do nothing else but I do have a day job as well. I have produced around 1,000 original films, most in English but also in Polish, French, Italian, Spanish and the occasional hint of German and Hebrew. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects
Please feel free to ask questions in the public area or to comment on things you disagree with. Sometimes there are mistakes because I speak without preparation. If I see the mistakes myself, I make this clear in the text. Please also leave a star rating!
There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focusing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers.
Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!
Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region. Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!
In 1997 I founded Polish Business News .There are a number of business related films here and I intend to do many more on CRM (customer relations management).
My blog can be found via and and contains background information and more details of many of my films. This information is in English.

A new chapter: The cash helping make Norwich's Dragon Hall a national centre for literature
Festivals, visits from international literary stars and a new city centre wedding venue - those are just some of the things that we've got to look forward to here in Norwich - as a new chapter begins at the historic Dragon Hall.
It's already home to the city's writers' centre - but soon that looks set to become a national base for literature.
A £700,000 grant from Arts Council England means work can start to extend it - and, as Lauren Hewitt reports, bosses aren't wasting any time.
