A day in Norwich

[RedDoughnut]

What should I do with a full day to myself in Norwich?

Somewhere to park?
Somewhere nice to eat?
What to see?

Anyone with local info please post your suggestions. Thanks!

Was brambles the basket shop? I used to love it. And the mustard shop before it moved. Never the same since.

Oh the gift/stationery shop opposite jarrolds.
Does any one rember the cafe downstairs? With the arched ceilings. We thought it was very cool as teenagers in the late 80s.
The ceiling used to drip in your coffee when it rained!

Hovells was the basket shop wasn't it?

Brambles was cards and gifts with a restaurant upstairs
Hovells was the basket shop
Bedfords opposite Hectors house had a crypt bar
The Walnut tree shades
Oliver's bakery and coffee shop
Snob for clothes

I still have a tshirt from snob. White with purple fish. I loved in there.

Our ‘day out’ massive bag for years was a Big Snob bag from Snob.

Thorns and Brambles - I always understood they were owned by the same family

Not sure, I didn't think it was
Brambles is no more, Thorns is still v popular

Mr Cordingly, 61, who left the business in 1998 but co-owns the current building with Miss Paston, said: 'When we first opened, the shop was quirky and there was nothing like this in Norwich. It became a bit of a centre for young people and students. It is part of the fabric of Norwich. '
