I grew up in England and used to go shopping there with my mum and hang around there with friends in the 90’s.
It’s wild to see what’s become of this place that was part of my childhood.
Good to see that QD is still going strong though 😂👍
Thanks for your comment I’m so pleased you got to see it before it one day gets torn down and it was a massive part of my childhood in the 80’s cheers for watching
Really great documentation of this moment in time, thank you
Thank you I really appreciate that and thanks for watching 👀
21:53 As a resident in Norwich for many years, Anglia Square has not aged well, sadly. I remember it when it was a prosperous area and very much “of the time,” but now, it is very depressing, invites much crime and does not do the city any justice. I remember shops like Bejam, Fine Fare, Sainsbury’s. The sooner the work starts, then the better, as it will give that part of Norwich a more modern retail and residential experience ☺️
Definitely agree thanks for watching 👀
When I first moved from North Walsham to Norwich, I was terrified of Magdalen Street, there was a tramp called Marigold (because he used to wear Marigold gloves to direct the traffic near a pub called The Artichoke.
Saint Giles Street used to scare me even more, so many weirdos. Eventually I overcame my fear by working in a sci-fi store called Kulture Shock on Saint Giles and had to deal with weirdos all day long.
Could you make some more videos around Norwich? I wanna know what Castle Mall looks like, plus the old BT building at the end of Saint Giles Street which I may have snuck into a few times.
Thanks for the video!
Correction - I was scared of Saint Benedict’s Street
Yes I definitely plan to make more and marigold that’s not a name I have heard in a while he used to direct the traffic at the bottom of grapes hill at times thanks again so much for watching I have a load of videos on Norwich history and I will be making more.
A really interesting video! I've lived around here my whole life and didn't know half of this! Keep it up.
Thank you glad you found it interesting and thanks for watching
Was due to be demolished January 2024 but the developers pulled out , looks like it will still be there for another 20 years yet .
I imagine so I think they pulled out as it has taken so long it’s now become to expensive
Online has killed places like this
Most definitely
Been a few years since I’ve visited Anglia Square. Sad to see it so neglected.
Yep it’s sad, thanks for watching hope you enjoyed it
Apparently, subsequent enquiry found design faults within the main building structures that weren't either admitted to or found / discovered until much later.
Makes you wonder eh - ?
It makes you wonder 💭 indeed thanks for watching 👀
WTF? I used to go there all the time when I was at uni. I saw The Matrix in that cinema (I thought it was ABC cinema) and also The Phantom Menace with my then girlfriend. There used to be a discount CD store where I’d find really obscure music. There used to be Iceland and QD too. It as always felt like a bit of a dump, but it had a personality.
One Step Beyond was not in Anglia Square - it was somewhere on Bedford Street. God! The service was awful and it was sooooo expensive!!!
Yep it’s sad now I loved it back in the day loads of memories but now it’s an eye sore thanks for watching 👀
I’ve just taken some aerial footage of Anglia Square
Some seriously fascinating buildings, such a shame it’s not used as much as it should be. Great video 👍👍
Thanks for watching I hope you enjoyed it
Loving these Dan ❤
Thank you glad you like it
So sad to see the decline of Anglia square I remember the hustle and bustle of the place back in the mid 80s and early 90s. I was on youth training at the Nowich training workshops in st saviours street and would pop along to Anglia square for lunch sometime in the indoor market where Roys is now. Used to do great food.
Thanks for your comment I had totally forgotten about the indoor market until reading your comment I used to go there sometimes when walking back from swimming at st Augustine’s in the late 80s early 90s
Did you get shouted at by security? me and a mate went to the car park behind the cinema and got shouted at 😭
Also I gotta agree, those lifts were so scary, classic old lift which stops harshly. Only been once back in 2014. Sad that the car park closed, I love the vibrant red bricks, and stunning white stairwells.
Nobody about when I went my buddy got shouted at for taking photos there just recently thanks for your comment glad you liked it and the lifts where the stuff of nightmares 😂
Look’s creepy
It is but it also has a charm to it thanks for watching
