Shopping at Norwich
There are plenty of chooses for shopping in the town. Besides the typical English shops that you find all over Britain( M&S, Boots, Next...) in the high street, you can go to many several Malls and there is an open market as well.
In Elm Hill there are lots of antiques and eastern shops. It's the most famouse street for shopping.
There are some moderm shopping centers like The Forum, Arcade, Chapelfield Mall and Castle Mall Where you find lots of shops, restarurants, coffee shops an entertaiment. There is a Cinema in Castle Mall too.
What I like the most was around the Forum because it is a place of meeting and there are lots of different people in there.
Next to the Forum there is an open market where you can get everything: food, shoes, bags, cards, toys, souvenirs, vegetables, fruit, flowers, books, clothes and you can even have someting to eat and drink.
None of you know that I am a great cooker, and a better "eater". And also, sometimes, a good drinker.

HISTORICAL PLACES
In Norwih there are many different historical places to visit. I think the most important are The Castle and The Cathedral.
The Castle was built by the Normans in 11th Century.It was used as a jail and Robert Kett, head of revolutions in Norfolk, was executed there in 1545. Nowadays it is used as a museum and you can visit interesting exhibitions there.
The Cathedral is one of the most important christian buildings in the east of England and it has a big Close with beautiful gardens. When you go through Erpingham Gate you can see the principal entrance. It's cloister has interesting sculptures in the ceiling.
Another historical places are St. Peter's Church, next to the Forum, the Guildhall, built with mineral and crystals and Country and Eastern, an antiques store where you can buy things from different parts of the world.

Finally, onto the riverside we saw some wooden blocks with engraved iron bands.The bales maybe represent people who lived and worked at Quayside in the past 200 years.

Hi Johanna!
In my group I asked different questions to know more about 'shopping'.
In Norwich there are a wide variety of shops and shopping centres where you can go depending on what you are looking for.
The most important ones are:
- Castle Mall, a big shopping centre next to the Castle.
- Chapelfield Mall, a modern shopping centre which is near Forum.
- 'The Works', an interesting book shop if you want to buy cheap books at a bargain. This book shop is in Gentleman Street.
- There is also a beautiful market near the Royal Arcade.
- But if you want to buy in Modern shops you shouldn't miss Cult and Yarolds.

By the way, if you want to buy organic food or vegetarian, gluten free and sugar free products you could go to 'The Greenhouse' in Bethel Street. In this place you can also taste Norfolk made wine, beers and ciders.
Finally, I would like to recommmed you a great antique shop called 'Country and Eastern'. In this shop you can find items from different countries in the world. This place was opened in 1876 as a skating rink, then it was a circus, a theatre and now an incredible place to buy antiquities and clothes specially from India, Pakistan, Indonesia...
