Norwich – did you know?

1. Up until the Early Modern Age, Norwich was the largest city outside of London. Immigrants from Europe and further afield came her to work in the wool and weaving industries that were based in the city.
2. Norwich is the only English city that’s situated in a National Park. The Norfolk Broads has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has 125 miles of lock-free waterways.
3. Norwich is the first city to have been pedestrianised. In 1967, giving people priority over traffic was a bit of novelty but many cities have seen the sense in this since and followed suite.
4. In the 17th Century, Norwich had more than 600 pubs! After prohibition, second World War bombing and 1960’s slum clearances, many were forced to close. Today, just 130 pubs remain in the city.
5. Norwich Football Club song is the oldest in the UK.  It was written for another football team in 1890 and was claimed by the Norwich football team in 1902.
6. The UK’s favourite brand of Mustard, Colman’s mustard, comes from Norwich. Jeremiah James Colman started producing it in 1814, and many of the farmers that supply the mustard seeds for the factory have been doing so for five generations!
7. The first postcodes in the UK were made for Norwich. The idea of identifying streets with a succession of letters and numbers was trialled in the city back in 1959 and was extended to the rest of the country after the raging success of the idea.
