The museum started out as an aviation enthusiasts group for members of the Eastern Counties Omnibus Company way back in 1977. The membership was later opened up to non employees and a temporary site was secured on the 17/35 runway at Norwich Airport. In early 1982, museum exhibits included Avro Anson (TX228), Westland Whirlwind (XP355), Sea Vixen (XP919) and a Dassault Mystere IV (121). 1983 saw the arrival of our Vulcan bomber which flew in to the airport after its retirement from service. By 1985 the museum had moved to its present site and an air fair held to help raise funds to expand the museum. At this time the Anson had gone (having been damaged beyond economical repair during gales) but Vampire (XD373) had arrived. 1986 saw another air fair on 14th September that saw attendance figures break the 20,000 barrier and another arrival, T-33 (16718). Over the next few years, services were laid, the main exhibition hall erected and the arrival of more aircraft.

Built in 1882 under the patronage of Henry Howard, the 15th Duke of Norfolk, not as a cathedral but as a parish church. Raised to cathedral status in 1976, it was designed by George Gilbert Scott and completed by his brother, John Oldrid Scott. The result is a delight, a magnificent example of late Victorian architecture, with superb stained glass, richly decorated interiors with marble columns. The design met with a mixed reception when the church was opened, but to stand in the centre of the nave and look up is to stand in absolute awe.

One of the most picturesque medieval streets in England (see Steep Hill in Lincoln for another), Elm Hill links Princes Street and Wensum Street, to the west of the cathedral close and Tombland. Most of the properties date to just after a destructive fire in 1507, and the street has changed very little since then. At the western end of the cobbled street stands one of the prettiest buildings in Norwich; the Briton's Arms, a beautiful timber-framed medieval inn (now enjoying a second life as a restaurant).
This lovely thatched building dates to 1347 and was known as 'Ye Goddes House', a reference to St Peter Hungate church just up the hill. The Briton's Arms was the only thatched building to survive the fire of 1507. It became an alehouse in 1760 and has been owned by the city of Norwich since 1951.
Just outside the Briton's Arms is a large cobbled area with a solitary tree growing in the centre. It was here in the medieval period that elm trees stood, trees which gave the street its name. This scene, with the tree at the centre of the cobbled open area, is one of the most serene and beautiful historic townscapes in England. As you proceed east along Elm Hill, past timber-framed buildings left and right, you pass the entrance to the medieval monastery of Father Ignatius. A little further along are numbers 20,22, and 26, site of a Tudor house occupied by Augustine Steward, three-time Mayor of Norwich.
Elizabeth I famously watched a pageant held in her honour from a window in Steward's house. At 41 & 43 is what remains of Pettus House, 16th century home of a wealthy merchant family. At the west end of Elm Hill you come to the redundant church of St Simon and St Jude, which dates to the late 14th century but stands on the foundations of an earlier Saxon church.

The name has nothing to do with tombs; it comes from the Old English for an open space, which is exactly what it was, a large open area used as the main market place for Norwich before the Normans came in the 11th century and created a new market by their castle. At one end is the Maid's Head Inn (see below), while to the east is the cathedral. On the west side of the cobbled area is 16th century Augustine Steward's House, while to the north is St George Tombland, a lovely medieval church.
Tombland looks peaceful today, but in 1272 it was the scene of rioting when tensions between the townsfolk and monks of the cathedral erupted in violence. There was fighting up and down Elm Hill and around Tombland, and numerous deaths. Edward III stepped in to end the violence, and put 30 of the townsfolk to death. Violence flared again in 1766 when a mob attacked a bakery in Tombland, declaring that the baker (and other businesses) were profiteering at a time of grain shortages.

I never thought a list of historic buildings would include a shopping arcade, but that's the case here. Between the castle and market place stands the Royal Arcade, a 247 foot long covered avenue of small shops. The arcade was designed by George Skipper (see Jarrold's) and opened in 1897. Skipper chose to design the arcade in Art Noveau style, and the result is simply stunning.
The arcade walls are set with tiles depicting femininity and nature, with peacocks and floral designs. The tiles were made by the Doulton company and designed by WJ Neatby, who also created the tiles for Harrod's famous food hall in London. The effect is stunning, so much so that you find yourself gazing at the architecture as much as the shops that line both sides of the arcade.

When the 12th-century monks of Norwich decided to build a cathedral, they needed a way to bring building materials to the construction site from the River Wensum. The answer was a canal that allowed boats to bring stone from France, timber from the Baltic, and iron from Sweden right to the cathedral site.
In the 15th century a gateway was built across the canal to protect access. In the 18th century the canal was filled in, but a ferry operated from the site well into the Victorian period. The ferry buildings were named for John Pull, who served as a ferryman for over 40 years, beginning in 1796. Today, Pulls Ferry is one of the most frequently photographed historic buildings in Norwich.
