for more than two thousand years. Today, in comparison with places like London or
Manchester, Norwich is quite small, with a population of around 150,000, but in the 16th
centuryNorwichwasthesecondcityofEngland.Itcontinuedtogrowforthenext300years
andgotricherandricher,becomingfamousforhavingasmanychurchesasthereareweeks

In 1964 the University of East Anglia was built in Norwich. With its fast growing student
populationanditssuccessasamoderncommercialcentre(Norwichisthebiggestcentrefor
insurance services outside London), the city now has a wide choice of entertainment:
theatres, cinemas, nightclubs, busy cafes, excellent restaurants, and a number of arts and
leisurecentres.Thereisalsoafootballteam,whosecoloursaregreenandyellow.Theteam
isknownas'TheCanaries',thoughnobodycanbesurewhy.
Now the city's attractions include another important development, a modern shopping
centre called 'The Castle Mall'. The people of Norwich lived with a very large hole in the
