Hello, I have just watched your video on the Mark from the States channel. Loved your tour, the architecture, all the snippets of history. I know it was a lot of work, but it was great - thank you!
Hello there @JJ-of1ir, Very pleased to bring a little of Norwich to your door. T'was very gracious of Mark from the States to feature it and how nice of you to drop by and to let us know you enjoyed it. All the best to you.
Like 52 👍 Hello from Naples, Florida. That is a beautiful city, indeed. Love, love the architecture. So many places and things to see. Thank you for sharing the footage and narration, have a great week. 💯
Hello my friend ! 👋 Thanks for this very nice visit of Norwich ! 👍 I know the name of this town from a movie I saw a few years ago. "Fighting with My Family". It tells the story of a wrestler and her journey to her WWE title. It was really interesting! Thank you for introducing me to this city! 😁 Merci !
Thanks for letting me know about the film Castel, I’ll look that up. You might also have heard of Alan Partridge, (played by Steve coogan) he makes lots of good humoured jokes about Norwich, I’m not sure if the humour translates well though?
Here at 3:41 minutes is the the shop my wife founded. Historically, her name was known by all as Angel. I must say, she truly is. This is why the shop was known as Angels Crystal shop.
I spent 20years calling on my customers in Norwich every two weeks. I’m seeing, and learning, more from your walks than I ever did as a representative Thanks for posting, I absolutely love it Mike.
Norwich is my favourite city ever! :) Lovely walk and narration! It's a shame this city doesn't really get mentioned in English tourist guides because they are definitely missing out!
Wow, the nostalgia! Thanks for this. I used to live off Elm Hill, in Waggon and Horse's Lane. There is (/ was?) a single cottage with a thatched roof in that area that was filmed as an exterior for the movie Stardust, featuring Clare Danes.
Hi there @hughtube5154, happy to bring back a good memory or two of your time living there. I didn't know that about the movie Stardust, thanks for dropping by.
🏰Hello how are you it looks like a very nice day for a walk. Very Beautiful and great to see people out and enjoying the great weather and whenever I visit England on Google Earth Maps and Street View I like going to Holmfirth and areas surrounding it where they filmed the British Sitcom the Last of the Summer Wine my favorite tv show from England and I like looking around the entire Yorkshire countryside and also London of course. Thank You for your videos and have a great week.🏰
Hello there Roger, ah yes we were lucky it was a very nice sunny day for the walk. How nice to hear you like seeing Holmfirth where they filmed the Last of the Summer Wine, we'd love to go and film there for you someday!
My favourite city and I visit a couple of times a year to see family (I live in Portugal). Last time, I thought the centre was looking a bit down-at-heel. I remember being shocked at a soup kitchen set up outside the closed Debenhams late afternoon. There were around 20 homeless people grateful for some food. I'd never seen that before...yes, one or two homeless in doorways but the scale of this deprivation came as a shock in a city that I always regarded as quite prosperous. Modern Britain, I guess...
Hi there Roger, thanks for dropping by. Yes it's always a very sad sight to behold in the modern day. It just makes one very grateful for our comfortable lives for sure. We too love the city though, it has a lot still going for it. Despite the hard times in which we live. Hope you're enjoying life in lovely Portugal?
One small "slip of the tongue". The new city hall did not replace the Guildhall (which still stands). It did replace the old Municipal building which stood on the site of the existinf market.
That was great! Informative and entertaining. I'm trying to figure out where in Britain to move next... Need to be near a city but far enough out to access nature (ideally water) and be away from crowds. I'm also a non-driver so need good transport links. Can you recommend any of your other videos to check out? Or even Norwich...? Thanks again, subscribed! 😊
Hi @choc_chip - thanks for stopping by. We have a "Britain" playlist which you could flick through - we tend to get drawn to characterful cities and towns ourselves, so that might be a good start. We personally really like Norwich, Brighton and Exeter...
One of the plus points for Norwich is that you don't have to travel far at all to be in the countryside or on water - I mean literally minutes. Norfolk is almost entirely countryside, with only 1 small city, and half a dozen major towns and of course a huge network of connected waterways - the Norfolk Broads.
Hiya, nice of you to say hello! Did I say that Norwich Cathedral was in HP? I could well be wrong :) This site claims it was, but it doesn't say which film or what location it was used for www.number82theunthank.co.uk/norwich-film-location-guide/
Norwich City Football Club originally played in Sky Blue and White shirts and their nick-name was the 'Citizens'. Their manager cira 1900 was a keen canary breeder, which as you point out was common in the area thanks to earlier immigrant Flemish weavers. He always referred to his players as 'my little canaries' in public and after a couple of years that sort of stuck and took over as a nick-name. The team colours were changed to yellow to match the new nick-name.
Partially correct on Edith Cavell, she did treat soldiers from both sides, however she was tried and executed by the Germans for aiding Allied POW`s to escape in 1915.
How lovely to see a town/city that still has shops that are open, most towns these days consist of depressing boarded up shops. Not worth visiting anymore. Very refreshing. 🤗🙌❤
Quite so Monty, it's one of the main reasons why we love Norwich, it's so good to see things relatively thriving. Brighton and Leigh on sea are both still doing well, you might enjoy a visit to one of those sometime too. Thanks for dropping by.
@@LivingWalks We Beat The Scum Again 1-0 To Norwich , They Call Themselves Team Of East Anglia Lol , But there Top Of The Championship & Still Lost Lol , Bunch Of Wet Wipes Ipswich Are ....

How nice. Very nice tour. Thank you. Hi from Sandpoint, Idaho USA
Hiya HD, how’re you doing. Basking in the Springlike weather in Sandpoint I hope? We’re filming In Barcelona right now and enjoying warming our bones.

Morning CAB1802, yes we do agree, if we ever moved anywhere in the UK it would be Norwich, it's a very liveable city I feel. Thanks for dropping by.
Behave yourself Mike. You're having far too much fun. Nice City. Thanks for a great walk.
Ah well, I’ve got to amuse myself somehow!
Astounding show and historical narration. Thankyou.
Hi there Tony, thanks for dropping by, so pleased you enjoyed it, it kinda makes it worthwhile to know it!

Thank you very much! Hope you do get to visit sometime, I know you won't be disappointed. Thanks for dropping by.
I don't know what it's like to be British but I know that you are a very good person. Thank you for your wonderful videos!
How very nice of you to say so Алевтина Булах, I'm just very happy that you are enjoying the videos.
Norwich cathedral has in fact has the biggest cathedral close in Europe. 44 acres in total.
Quite so Jack, thanks for dropping by with your insight.
Such a lovely place.
Yes it was!
It's not Madeira :) Only joking - fascinating walk. You should do live city tours you know...
Don't give Yvonne ideas!
Lovin you video, just wish 1 of you vloggers would film the other side of Norwich city centre. There seems to be the same walk with all vloggers.
Ah I'm sure we'll be back to do that somethime!
One small "slip of the tongue". The new city hall did not replace the Guildhall (which still stands). It did replace the old Municipal building which stood on the site of the existinf market.

Next year 🤞 Me and my Mr Jones. The ancestry and preferences of a free lancer visiting my haus wouldn’t anger me like it did some.
I think you and your Mr Jones will like it :) - we did and keep coming back...
I appreciate, you cannot include everything, but you missed out St Benedicts St, one of the oldest most historical streets in Norwich
Oh thanks for the low down, we'll just have to revisit and make sure we get plenty of other areas in. All the best to you.
The friars did all the cooking 😅
👍
Where you had your picnic is where they buried the dead from the plague. Thats why it's so high up from the path and walled
All quite fascinating isn't it Rob.

It's statiscally one of the safest cities on Earth

Quite so Mark!
