Hidden History: The forgotten chapel
Ring-roads, go round and past. Nature of the beast I suppose, circling. Norwich is blessed with ever-increasing circles; from the old castle ditches and the fee to the city wall and the inner link roads, out to the proper ring-road now forming into another ripple of...
The Walled City 4: St Augustines Gate
This used to be the back wall of Magpie Print. I remember it being an inside; the inside of a building full of printing gear with ‘Mudpie Bob’ as we called him at the helm steering it. The trade seas were rough, from letterpress through to photolitho. I...
Aerial ghosts: Messines updated
I had a very interesting email today from Gil Bossuyt of frontaaltours.com which has prompted this post. Gil has been looking at the image I originally colourised in this piece. It goes thus: “I went searching on trench maps to recognize some road structures,...
WW1: Aerial Trench Ghosts Part 3 – Lens
Someone asked if I’d done any Loos aerials, I hadn’t, it’s not an area I’m hugely familiar with, it does tend to get forgotten in between all the noise about the Battle of the Somme and The Ypres Salient. There’s plenty of front in...
Lost in a landscape: The Denes
Summer is nearly upon us, it’s May, a bank holiday weekend. What better time for a lazy trip to Great Yarmouth for a mindless wander along the prom and up to the strange outland of the Denes, even hazy sun is nice, in this swearing breathing Martin Parr...Products

Further to those pics, for anyone who isn’t aware of William of Norwich, the chapel, blood libel and the persecution of the Jews in the 12th century in Norwich and further afield, there’s a piece on it here from a few years ago. www.invisibleworks.co.uk/hidden-history-the-forgotten-chapel/

Prior to this: Spotted this on Mousehold. It’s a piece of what looks to be limestone rather than concrete. I suspect it’s usually obscured by bracken, about 8 inches deep and wide. It’s positioned just outside the southeastern perimeter of the site of St William’s Chapel about halfway off towards the Great War light railway line. I assume it’s medieval in origin, but can’t be sure. Anyway, just one of those things.
