    Norwich
    Norwich, the capital of the part of Britain known as East Anglia, has existed as a place to live
    for more than two thousand years. It began as a small village beside the River Wensum.
    The first cathedral was built in 1095 and has recently celebrated its 900th anniversary, while
    Norwich itself had a year of celebration in 1994 to mark the 800th anniversary of the city
    receiving a Royal Charter. This allowed it to be called a city and to govern itself
    independently.
    Today, in comparison with places like London or Manchester, Norwich is quite small, with a
    population of around 150,000, but in the 16th century Norwich was the second city of England.
    It continued to grow for the next 300 years and got richer and richer, becoming famous for
    having as many churches as there are weeks in the year and as many pubs as there are days in
    the year.
    Nowadays, there are far fewer churches and pubs. With its fast growing university student
    population and its success as a modern commercial centre, the city now has a wide choice of
    entertainment: theatres, cinemas, nightclubs, busy cafes, excellent restaurants, and a number of
    arts and leisure centres. Now the city's attractions include another important development, a
    modern shopping centre called 'The Castle Mall'. The people of Norwich lived with a very
    large hole in the middle of their city for over two years, as builders dug up the main car park.
    Lorries moved nearly a million tons of earth so that the roof of the Mall could become a city
    centre park, with attractive water pools and hundreds of trees. But the local people are really
    pleased that the old open market remains, right in the heart of the city and next to the new
    development.
