Thank-you for commenting 🙂

This was fascinating to see. What an interesting part of history that is still there today. So many underground cities were just built on top of over the world. from Roman times to even today. Thanks for sharing this part of Norwich past

[@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk]

Thanks again for tuning in - was privileged to be able to explore this secret underground street - many pass by unaware what treasures lie directly beneath them 🙂

As a young lad my two cousins and myself were heading (this was roughly 50 years ago) into Manchester town centre, there was some new boarding at the side of a road in a old industrial area of the city that had a little gap that we pulled a liitle further more, so we could peer through, what we saw has never left my memory, there was a wide tunnel and you could see a road going gradually downwards and curving off to the left, there were single storey shops either side, some had flat-fronted windows and some were bow-fronted all with small panes of glass, there was a pavement in front of them with street gas lamps, the road was a cobbled one, all in immaculate condition except for dust and cobwebs, if ever there was a real Diagon Alley then that was it. Another amazing thing about it was the actual entrance to it started between two tall brick-built railway arches, there were two very large old wooden doors that were opened, the new boarding that had been put up was to stop prying eyes from seeing. I could never understand why it wasn't cleaned up and turned into a tourist attraction.

That is an incredible story - how fascinating - thank-you for sharing this - surely this hidden street has to be turned into a tourist attraction - although it is intriguing to think secret places like this could still exist in the modern world 🙂

[@sylviarowley6668]

Wow! Thank you for sharing such an amazing experience! I’m even more inspired to come & see it for myself!

[@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk]

Thanks Sylvia really appreciate the comments - you’ll certainly enjoy your visit - let stepping back in time for a short while 🙂

[@peterbustin2683]

Ive been wanting to find a site like this for ages, now im here!

[@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk]

Thanks for tuning in Peter - a hidden treasure this place 🙂

Cheers guys appreciate you tuning in again 🙂

A similar dwelling although private can be found under business property in Crown Road which is off Rose Lane behind Anglia TV

[@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk]

Hi Chris - thanks for sharing this - I don’t think I’m aware of this one - lots of undercrofts in the older parts of the city and the chalk mines of course - lots to explore under the streets of Norwich - most as you say inaccessible though

[@christate3976]

I was shown around it when my wife worked at the business it was under ,very interesting ,Norwich still has many undiscovered gems yet to be unveiled .

[@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk]

Norwich is so full of history no doubt there are still places yet to be fully explored below ground@@christate3976

[@ExploringWithEmAndStu]

Thanks for giving us such a detailed tour, I've been toying with the idea for along time now about whether we should book a tour too but wasn't sure how much there was to see down there.. i definitely think we'll try to get on one very soon now 😊

[@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk]

Thanks guys it’s well worth a visit. Amazing to think such history exists below the streets of Norwich which many would be unaware of. Appreciate you tuning in and the comments 🙂

[@michaelfreeman2541]

Wow, is there any chance I could come have a look? !!

[@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk]

Hi Michael - it’s available to visit and book tickets - it’s called “Norwich’s Hidden Street Tours” 🙂

[@peterjameson321]

Thank you for this fascinating video and all your hard work in making it. I'd have enjoyed it more without the interspersed loud and intrusive music though.

[@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk]

Thank-you Peter appreciate the comments - it is fascinating to think there is a hidden street beneath our feet that many won’t be aware of when walking past Norwich Castle 🏰 🙂

[@JJLewin1]

Interesting location, but very small

[@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk]

It is an amazing time capsule - well worth a trip - considering the weight and size of the buildings above it has done very well to survive so long 🙂

[@mirellaczajkowska-turek5819]

Ba😮😍

[@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk]

Thanks for tuning in Mirella 🙂

[@CBuxton-EX.HKt.D]

Thats only part of Norwich tunnel story the city is full of them Used to play in them as Kids ,

[@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk]

Hi - yes you’re right - many chalk tunnels too and WW2 bunkers - probably a few more in and around the castle which remain hidden - lots of medieval undercrofts too - about 60 in total across the city - the largest collection in the country 🙂

[@CBuxton-EX.HKt.D]

@@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk Kets Hights hold some storys.

[@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk]

Yes lots of history around there 🙂

[@Loagun]
