A round up of Norwich history.

1650-1750 Norwich was rated along with London as being a wealthy city. In 1650 it was called the "City in a Wood" as it had much land available within the city walls. In the 1800's the printing and leather industry came to Norwich. In 1845 the railway connection between London and Norwich was completed due to the entrepreneur Sir Morton Peto. The leather industry brought a thriving industry for shoe makers. Colman's Mustard was established in 1814 which still stands today, and the museum can be visited in the Royal Arcade in Norwich city center.

In 1930's the city hall was built. In 1963 the University of East Anglia accepted its first students.

The Norfolk Broads became a national park allowing it to be preserved for many generations to come.

Although the famous Nestle factory was closed in 1994 and moved to York, at least us children from the 1970's can remember the smell of the famous chocolate factory.

Norwich airport was originally at Mousehold Heath which is now Heartsease's housing estate and was established on a former First World War aerodrome but went into disuse in the Second World War.

The current site is at RAF Horsham St Faith and was established in 1939. It was used by the USAF in the Second World War but given over to the RAF in 1945 and left in 1967. Allowing Norwich Airport ltd under ownership of Norwich City and County Councils to develop the airport to what it is today.

We must not forget The Theatre Royal which began it's life in Norwich in 1730 bringing entertainment to many families. It still brings many pantomimes to life. I remember going to see many.

So whether you want to stroll down cobbled streets or go the the Theatre Royal or walk along the wonderful market square, you will, I am sure, be drawn to visit this City that I once called home.

Don't forget boys and girls to visit my wonderful toy store that I loved so much Langleys you will not be disappointed.
