Walking
Tomorrow is part 1 of our walking tour, as I write it is pouring with rain, fingers crossed for sunshine in the morning. We have Mari from the Parliamentary Archive joining us tomorrow and I hope to instigate a conversation with the group about the relevance and responses to visiting historical sites mentioned in the documents we have been looking at.
Part 2 next week will take us along King Street to look at amongst other things St Peter Parmentergate which is now a martial arts centre. This re-invention of buildings is obviously not particular to Norwich, but we do have a fair number of churches in the city.
It will be interesting to consider re-use further when we look at the sites tomorrow, particularly the old Bethel Hospital, which although partly re-developed some of the building remains in a empty state. I have a feeling there might be a covenant on it, perhaps some of the group might have more information.
