GREAT BRITAIN: NORWICH (Norfolk, England, UK)
Norwich is a city in Norfolk, England. Granted historic city status, and situated on the River Wensum in East Anglia, it lies approximately 100 miles (160 km) north-east of London. 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.

Royal Norfolk Show 2019, Norfolk Showground Dereham Road Norwich UK
I made it to the Royal Norfolk Show 2019, just about. Initially I wasn't expected to attend at all, however, a last minute change of plans changed all that and the race was on. It's all about embracing opportunity and going for it. I knew it was cutting it a little fine and even though various hurdles along the way added to the challenge I kept going. I captured the tail end of this fabulous event on camera and enjoyed the finale in the arena immensely.

Dereham, also known as East Dereham, is a town and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. It is situated on the A47 road, about 15 miles west of the city of Norwich and 25 miles east of King's Lynn.
For the purposes of local government, Dereham falls within, and is the centre of administration for, the district of Breckland. The town Dereham should not be confused with the Norfolk village of West Dereham, which lies about 25 miles (40 km) away.
The railway arrived in Dereham when a single track line to Wymondham opened in 1847. In 1848 a second line, to King's Lynn was opened. In 1849 a line from Dereham to Fakenham was opened, this line being extended to the coastal town of Wells-On-Sea by 1857. In 1862 the town's railways became part of the Great Eastern Railway. The town had its own railway depot and a large complex of sidings, serving local industry. In 1882 the line between Dereham and Wymondham was doubled, to allow for the increasing levels of traffic.
The railway between Dereham and Wymondham has been preserved, and is now operated as a tourist line by the Mid-Norfolk Railway Preservation Trust. This charitable company also owns the line north towards County School railway station, it has started to gradually reopen the line towards North Elmham and aims to eventually relay the line to Fakenham.
The town of Dereham lies on the site of a monastery founded by Saint Withburga in the seventh century. A holy well at the western end of St Nicholas' Church supposedly began to flow when her body was stolen from the town by monks from Ely, who took the remains back to their town. Notable buildings in the town include the pargetted Bishop Bonner's Cottage, built in 1502, the Norman parish church, a windmill which was extensively renovated in 2013 and a large mushroom-shaped water tower. The Gressenhall Museum of Rural Life is nearby. The town also hosts the headquarters of the Mid-Norfolk Railway, which runs trains over an 11.5-mile railway south to Wymondham, as well as owning the line 6 miles north to North Elmham and County School Station.

Wymondham, Norfolk

A visit to the beautiful market town of Wymondham in Norfolk on a wonderfully sunny day in early March 2011.
Wymondham's most famous inhabitant was Robert Kett (or Ket), who led a rebellion in 1549 of peasants and small farmers in protest at the enclosure of common land. He took a force of almost unarmed men and fought for and held the City of Norwich for six weeks until defeated by the King's forces. He was hanged from Norwich Castle. Kett's Oak, said to be the rallying point for the rebellion, can still be seen today on the B1172 road between Wymondham and Hetherset, part of the former main road to London.
I make references to fires in all of my walks around medieval towns as they date from the time of the last great fire. The Great Fire of Wymondham broke out on Sunday 11 June 1615. Two areas of the town were affected, implying there were two separate fires. One area was in Vicar Street and Middleton Street and the other in the Market Place, including Bridewell Street and Fairland Street. About 300 properties were destroyed in the fire. Important buildings destroyed included: the Market Cross, dating from 1286; the vicarage in Vicar Street; the 'Town Hall' on the corner of Middleton Street and Vicar Street; and the schoolhouse. However, many buildings such as the Green Dragon pub did survive and many of the houses in Damgate Street date back to 1400, although this is now masked by later brickwork.
The fire was started by three Gypsies - William Flodder, John Flodder and Ellen Pendleton (Flodder) - and a local person, Margaret Bix (Elvyn). The register of St Andrew's Church in Norwich records that John Flodder and others were executed on 2 December 1615 for the burning of Wymondham. Rebuilding of the destroyed buildings was quick in some cases and slower in others. A new Market Cross, the one we see today, was started and completed in 1617. However, by 1621 there were still about 15 properties not yet rebuilt. Economic conditions in the 1620s could have been a contributory factor to the delay in rebuilding.
Kett's Rebellion was evidence of an undercurrent of ferment in 16th-century Wymondham. Comparable discontent showed itself in the 17th century when a number of Wymondham citizens, including Thomas Lincoln, John Beal and others, moved to Hingham, Norfolk in the wave of religious dissent that swept England in the years preceding Cromwell's Commonwealth.
In 1785, a prison was built using the ideas of John Howard, the prison reformer. It was the first prison to be built in this country with separate cells for the prisoners and was widely copied both in the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
The collapse of the woollen industry in the mid-19th century led to great poverty in Wymondham. In 1836 there were 600 hand looms, but by 1845 only 60 existed. During Victorian times the town was a backwater and never experienced large-scale development. The town centre remains very much as it must have been in the mid-17th century, when the houses were rebuilt after the Great Fire. These newer houses, and those which survived the Great Fire, still surround shoppers and visitors as they pass through Wymondham's narrow mediaeval streets.
Wymondham in the Second World War was home to one of MI6's Radio Security Service direction finding stations; the type at Wymondham was a Spaced Loop design newly developed by the National Physical Laboratory. Unfortunately, this was soon found to be unsatisfactory and was converted to the more traditional Adcock type.. The station at Wymondham was located at latitude=52.583333, longitude=1.121667, just north of Tuttles Lane and east of Melton Road. Based on information from one of the WW2 operators it transpires that another spaced loop station was later installed alongside the first in 1944 after the Normandy invasion. This may have been due to increased interest in transmissions from western Europe where the shorter distance made the spaced loop more reliable.
As you can see in this film, in the town centre, there is a market cross, which is now used as a Tourist Information Centre and is owned by the Town Council. The original building was destroyed in the Great Fire of Wymondham in 1615; the present building was rebuilt between 1617-18 at a cost of £25-7-0d with funds loaned by local man, Philip Cullyer. The stilted building was like many others designed to protect valuable documents from both flood and vermin. According to T.F. Thistleton Dyer's English Folklore [London, 1878], live rats were nailed by their tails to the side of the building by way of a deterrent. This bizarre superstition ended in 1902 after a child was bitten, later to die of blood-poisoning.
Wymondham Abbey is the Church of England parish church.

DEREHAM (NORFOLK) FESTIVAL (1978) (Super 8)
I bought this reel with a sound strip, and was disappointed that all that was on it was about two minutes of a generic crowd sound effect, so I've done a better job.
Driving in UK: Dereham, Watton, A11 (Norfolk)
Day in Dereham
The central Norfolk town of Dereham is locared 15 miles west of Norwich and has a bustling population of nearly 20,000 people. In the last century, archeological findings from the Neolithic period, Iron Age and Bronze Age have all been found in the area, showing that it has been inhabited for thousands of years
The town actually lies on the site of a 7th Century monastery too that was founded by Saint Withburga. A fenced off holy well still lies at the western edge of St Nicholas' Church too.
Dereham despite its size is busy and serves as a commuter hub for Norwich too. See some commercial Dereham properties at
