More about this scene
Markets have been held here on Thursdays for hundreds of years. They take place around the war memorial (left, in front of the white building); farmers, merchants and millers came from all areas of Norfolk. The Norfolk Chronicle newspaper had its headquarters here until 1955, when it was sold to ECN. The Crown Hotel (extreme left) is a popular spot for locals and visitors. The market place is surrounded by well-kept 18th-century buildings, but parking is a problem.
