George Borrow wrote of Norwich: "A fine old city, truly, is that, view it from what side you will", and his description still holds true today. Norwich is a prosperous city, with fascinating reminders of its heritage to be found around every corner, where the past blends harmoniously with the modern.

Some of its buildings date back to medieval times, when it was the second most important city in the kingdom, and many handsome Georgian houses grace its streets.

In this beautiful volume Richard Tilbrook has recorded his impressions of all aspects of life in the capital of Norfolk. From the tranquility of the River Wensum, the Cathedral and the Close, to the bustle of the city's market and its numerous inns and shops, this is a unique record of one of England's most enticing cities.

The introduction by noted broadcaster, journalist and author, John Timpson, gives an acedotal account of the city's history which, combined with magnificent colour photographs, makes Norwich, a fine city, a unique volume.
