Two Special Places.

A Memory of Norwich.

Your picture of the Novi Sad Bridge in Norwich provoked many memories. Firstly it is an extremely good replica of the bridge. I've been over it many times and remember seeing it on tv the day it was bombed. Everyone over there was crying. We were crying. Some of our friends were about to cross it and were helping to rescue the injured. It was a very special place and became a symbol of Novi Sad so fabulous to see it replicated. - and in Norwich of all places!

I lived in Norwich for 3 1/2 years in the later 70s to early 80s. It was very isolated from other places at the time - the train lines hadn't been electrified. There was a great folk scene - lots of ceilidhs and I danced the Morris with Blue Eyed Strangers and was involved with Friends of the Earth. I loved the market and the Waffle House - and the board games shop in Elm Hill. Such a great place to live and so much going on. I remember Norfolk Radio starting and knowing many of the contributors - it was a great radio station. So many happy memories there.
