I've watched this a few times and there's something eerie about this video and I can't put my finger on it. Possibly the fact that this was only 25 years ago and nothing has changed but at the same time everything has changed?!
@serenechaosuk46824 жыл бұрын
Eerie huh ? Maybe the fact that people think of the 80s/early 90s as being all colourful and vibrant, but in a real, down-to-earth city like Norwich ( yes I'm from here !) everything is more neutral and 'sensible'. Or maybe the fact that no fake excess lighting was used in photography in those days, thus it's all misty and 'grey'.

I was born in Norwich in 1975, I started city college in 1991, great bit of archive footage, this brings back many memories, such happy times, would go back in an instant. The guy who became the puppet man (if you are from Norwich you'll know who I mean) used to play the harmonica really badly in St Stephens subway around this time. Can't believe its 30 years ago.

I hope Norwich changes back to it's natural state before it's too late.

It was in Nelson Street. I knew an awful lot of people in Norwich. I loved it so much, I'm desperate to get back, but I'm in supported living now, and my family won't let me come back there. I had to leave in '92, because I was really unwell. I'm going to have to finish this here.

Hopefully it's improved again since that visit.

PistonBlown I travel quite a bit so feel I am able to compare places and I would not say that Norwich is suffering from a downturn in the economy. However the market is dead during the week - maybe a few more stalls are open on a Friday but the only day to visit is Saturday - and even then there are stalls which are closed.

***** My visit was only fleeting, a day spent walking around in Nov 2012 so not a long amount of time to get re-aquanted with the city. As mentioned I think I must have caught it at a bad period as normally Norwich sails on regardless. It certainly is in a lot better shape than my home city of Christchurch, New Zealand - through of course we have an earthquake to blame for that:-)
