Welcome to the Norwich Society
A Voice in the City

Castle Mall Car Park Entrance

The Norwich Society saved and restored one side of the old Duke's Palace Bridge and it has been recycled as the arched entrance to the Castle Mall Car park.
However, the Society feels that the advertising banner across the top mars this handsome feature. We are awaiting a decisive reaction from the City. Dateline: August 5 2010

"Our concerns about the spread of the Night Time Economy in Norwich"

The Norwich Society invites you to join us in caring for this fine old City.

George Borrow (1803-1881), born in Norfolk but a wide-ranging traveller, lived here and wrote of Norwich that it was “a fine old city…view it from whatever side you will”.

The Norwich Society aims to keep it that way by championing the best buildings from the past and promoting the best architectural design and planning for its future.

We do this by:

Watching planned city development to encourage the highest possible standards
Identifying planning and development needs and arguing for them with the relevant authorities

Gathering evidence of problems and concerns and making the case for change
