Geocache Description:

The first in a series of caches that introduce the forgotten Norwich, the places and things that help build and cement it’s place in the region.

Remnants of a Norwich terminus have been exposed to view after lying undisturbed for many years.

Norwich City station, the M&GN's gateway to Norwich, closed to passengers in 1959 and its goods traffic ceased a decade later.

Part of the site became a trading estate, other portions were used to create a ring road and the Marriott's Way footpath, and the station gradually became forgotten by most residents.

Now the Friends of Norwich City Station (FONCS) aims to secure the station's place in history. The group has cleared earth and undergrowth to reveal around 150ft of Platform 1's wall as well as two shorter platforms and an inspection pit.

FONCS plan to build a seated area and memorial garden on what they believe to be public land. On April 29th, the day of the Royal Wedding, a 'royal dig' took place, unearthing yet more of the wall.

Cache is a nano, you'll need tweezers to extract the log.. Happy hunting ...

*Congratulations to Canary cacher FTF!*
