Geocache Description:

Like many other towns and cities, Norwich has long had large numbers of public houses. In the 1880s there were over 450 pubs within Norwich’s city walls. Many would have been tiny alehouses occupying little more than the downstairs room of a house. Since this time a combination of legislation, war time raids and changes in culture have led to many closing. Although many have gone, they have not been forgotten and still contribute to the City’s folklore.
