Tour of a Hidden Medieval Street Beneath the City of Norwich

About this experience

Step beneath the streets of Norwich and uncover the remains of a hidden medieval street on this unique guided underground tour. Your experience begins in the heart of Norwich city centre, where you’ll meet your expert guide and hear the fascinating story of how an ordinary shoe shop concealed a forgotten medieval street for decades. After a short introduction, you’ll descend below street level, exploring layers of architecture dating back hundreds of years. As you explore the atmospheric remains of the underground street and 15th-century dwellings, your guide will bring Norwich’s past to life with stories of merchants, prisoners, rebels and everyday people who once lived and worked here. Discover how the city became one of the most important and wealthy places in medieval England through its booming wool trade and weaving industry. Along the route, you’ll encounter original architectural features, hidden undercrofts, remnants of old shopfronts and spaces untouched for generations.
