Norwich Market, established by the Normans between 1071 and 1074, is the largest six days a week open air market in England. In 1814, Colman's Mustard was founded in Norwich and continues to operate from its factory at Carrow. Throughout the 1980s and '90s Norwich's economy changed from chiefly industrial to a service-based industry.

Norwich is considered to have a wealth of historical architecture with the medieval period represented by the 11th century Norwich Cathedral and the 12th century Norwich castle, which is now a museum. During the Middle Ages, 57 churches stood within the city wall and 31 still exist today. The 18th century saw many fine buildings constructed including the Assembly Rooms, the Octagon Chapel, and St Helen's House. In the 19th century, Norwich grew considerably in size and continued to grow throughout the 20th century, despite heavy bombing in the Second World War destroying some historic buildings.

Amenities for Norwich properties

Castle shopping mall presents an ingenious solution to the problem of sensitively creating new retail space in an historic city-centre environment, i.e. the building is largely buried underground in the side of a hill. The new Chapelfield shopping mall has been built on the site where the Caley's chocolate factory once stood. It features a new three-floor flagship House of Fraser department store. The principal local football team is Norwich City F.C., with celebrity chef Delia Smith owning a large slice of the corporate pie.
