About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Explore Victorian Norwich on this two-hour walking tour with tour guide, Paul Dickson. Celebrate the city's 19th century architecture, industry, shopping and culture. But also consider the dreadful housing conditions of the poorer members of society. Hear about the growth of Colman's Mustard, Caley's Chocolate, the Norwich Union and the shoe industry. Visit Bowhill and Elliott, founded in 1874 and now Norwich's last surviving shoe manufacturer, creating fabulous Albert slippers, dress slippers and house slippers. The tour starts on the steps of The Forum and finishes at the beautiful art nouveau Royal Arcade.
