Lost Norwich - Under the Flyover 

Thank you Andrew for your comment. The city certainly lost some character as a result, but it seems there was considerable congestion at the time and the road was done to relieve that. As you rightly say, I am trying to keep history alive!

wow! That sheds a different light on it!

Thanks Keith

Always great to get additional details - thanks w

Thanks for your comment. I can only agree!

Thanks for your comment Geoff. To date courts and yards have been included in videos about specific locations, but I know that there are many more than those I've covered so far.

Thanks, that's sad to hear, as with so many old photos there has been a lot of attractiveness demolished.

I would absolutely agree, though to be fair some of these building would have been quite dilapidated.

Thank you, it may of course be nothing to do with the City Council, but you'd think they would know who to approach.

I think I have already done it...try this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ppz15Y7_xg8.html

@@JohnAtkinsLostNorwich Thanks

Thanks very much for your comment. It is certainly a hideous structure, and has the effect of splitting Magdalen Street in half.

That's true - I get that!

Many thanks for your comment, Alfred.

Thanks for your comment Stefan. Sorry I don't know the answer to your question. Can't visualise it at all I'm afraid.

Burned down then cleared away. Can't remember when. 1990s, 2000s?

Thanks very much for adding that information 👍

Thanks for adding all those details. Your window view sounds like it was interesting!

Thank you Jack, for that detail. It just illustrates to me that there is still an awful lot for me to learn about this city - I was completely unaware of that!

@@JohnAtkinsLostNorwich It was more of a Chapel than a church, but it was beautiful inside. I believe it closed its doors in 1965 and moved to st George's we now see on Sprowston road.

Thank you, I appreciate your comment 👍

Thanks Martin, they certainly do.

I believe the plaques may be the responsibility of Norwich Society. So far I have just over £100 from RU-vid advertising. So it'll take a while to raise a significant sum, unless a video goes viral, but when I've got a few hundred pounds I'll contact Norwich Society.

@@JohnAtkinsLostNorwich that is quite an amount still! You're doing well! I never got into the RU-vid Creators business, too busy!

@@MrBloodthirstyalex I'm retired, so this keeps me busy!

Indeed. But I guess a degree of slum clearance too. Just a shame the result is an ugly monstrosity which has split Magdalen Street in two. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks John, no you didn't miss it! It was 1971/2.

Actually, my next video is about Rosary Road, and I haven't heard of that. Google doesn't seem to have any info. If you can point me to a picture in the next couple of days I might be able to include a reference to it.

@@JohnAtkinsLostNorwich I have scoured the internet but can find no images of Rosary Road in days gone by that highlight the area. There are images of the gas tower and pub plus the old Nest football ground but nothing in between. If you look at Google Earth the new housing estate built on the old Nest ground, it was in this area the old Norfolk Darts and Social Club sat. The original first Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses is also on the old Nest site

@@JohnAtkinsLostNorwich here’s a suggestion John for Lost Norwich; houses of interest. Couple come to mind; Point House at the intersection of Sprowston Road and Magdalene Road and 1 Drayton Road now called John Boag House. This latter home was owned by family friends, the Lovelbadges in the 70’s and I remember going to visit as a boy. Both homes seem to potentially offer some historical interest but I know nothing about them really

@@DJWerkz thanks, I think I've got it. Does the phrase Chalk Hill House ring a bell?

@@DJWerkz thanks for the suggestion, I'll add it to my list!

Thanks Jan, that's quite a coincidence!

@@JohnAtkinsLostNorwich hi. Wish I could talk to u I live in Norwich for 47 years I am so ingulfed in the history and esp Norwich ghosts. I do ghost walks all the time I want do my own tube on Norwich ghosts but don’t know to start. Watching all ur videos. Such shame how Norwich has changed but nice see lot off original features still remain. To day I’m walking from Adam eve river along black friars bridge past ducking stool sign to haunted house house on Magdalene street number 19. Then cathedral and if energy I’ll keep walking. Absolutely obsessed with Norwich. And old Norwich and more importantly the ghosts off Norwich 👻👻👻👻

thanks Emma, it's a slightly shorter road these days!

Thank you Donna. Happy New Year!

Thanks Callum, it seems no one knows how to get these plaques replaced 🤔. Hopefully one day someone will know and tell me..!
