Lost Norwich - Barrack Street 

Fascinating - thank you very much. I will look at Barrack Street with different eyes now.

Thank you so very much for this episode. I really enjoy your mirrored then and now. I used to drive to work along Barrack St and was impressed by the handsome building that was then Norfolk Chamber of Commerce. As you have shown it had been a 1920s brewery on the corner of Barrack Street and Silver Rd. Anglia TV used it for film sets and I was pleased to be able to see inside when it was on Lovejoy and Tales of the Unexpected. It looked like it had a fine staircase and lovely mosaic floors. I heard that it had been broken into and damaged. You are doing a great service recording these memories. Thanks again 👍👍👍

Another brilliant Video John, another video that stirred some memories, on a road that you use regularly its only when you see your video's that you suddenly remember buildings that look totally different now but you remember the old look, its the beauty of what you do. My wife used to be a senior manager for the Virgin one account , and used to work in the old brewery offices on occasion, she says it's an amazing period building inside. again thanks

Thanks for another interesting video, I often drive along Barrack Street, I am inspired now to explore more on foot.

Thank you for another interesting video. All the very best.

Thanks for another very interesting part of the Norwich tour.

Thank you

I enjoyed that thank you. Must be something special about the old chippy because its the only building to be saved with the new development going up around it.

After I moved from Somerleyton 55 years ago to live in Thorp St Andrew just about everything has changed BUT NOT fore the better. Lots of lovely PUBS where you could go to MEET new people have gone, including my local the WOODSIDE on Plumstead RD East .

Another amazing video.

Sound research as ever John. Interesting how many local pubs closed pre WW2.

My neighbour when I moved to Vincent Road in 1994 was a Fred Burrage who was still owner of the Fish and Chip shop on Barrack st. He died several years ago and I`m not sure if this was a much younger Fred pictured in the doorway of the shop in the photograph.

Unrecognisable now sadly. I remember the barracks and brewery. We had a school local studies visit to Bullards from CNS in 1963.

Hello myPren. Merry Christmas.

There have certainly been some significant changes along Barrack Street. I didn't realise St Paul's Church was demolished to make way for the flyover. I would never have guessed from your Facebook post that the view was of Barrack Street. Did anyone guess it correctly in the end?

Used to get chips from that chippy. Line the stomach before going to Central Park.

Barack street is probably the most unrecognisable yet.

As an ex resident of Norwich, I find your uploads of great interest, as a city I thought I knew well, they give me an insight to places with far more significance than I gave previous thoughts to! Will you ever do Hall road, Gordon Square, Trafalgar Street ( and Howards lane ), Cherry close and Southwell Road area as this has most significance to me, growing up in Trafalgar Street... ? Many thanks, and I look forward to seeing more!
