Now in Norwich (4/22/24)

Bob and I arrived in Norwich this afternoon at about 3:20 after having traveled by train from Eastbourne to London, switching stations in London by tube, and then onward to Norwich. We had a short 10 minute walk to our hotel, where we’ll be for 3 nights.

The Norwich Rail Station

Shortly after unpacking we went for a walk along the riverside walking path that we could catch near the train station.


One of the earliest artillery blockhouses in England,
this brick tower was built in about 1398-9
to command a strategic point in Norwich’s city defence.
St. James Mill built in 1839, now the head offices of Jerrold & Sons
The marker regarding the burial of Lady Butler (Eleanor Talbot)
in the church of the Carmelite Friars.
She was claimed to have had a pre-contract of marriage
to Edward IV, which Richard III used
to deny the throne to Edward’s children.
The impressive Norwich Cathedral

We’re looking forward to exploring more of Norwich tomorrow.
