Juggling With Eggs<p>Here’s how to book <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Norwich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Norwich</span></a>’s fab hidden underground street tour…the guides who take you down are brilliant! </p><p><a href="https://www.theshoebox.org.uk/the-shoebox-experiences/experience/norwichs-hidden-street-tour/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theshoebox.org.uk/the-shoebox-</span><span class="invisible">experiences/experience/norwichs-hidden-street-tour/</span></a></p>
Juggling With Eggs<p>It was a very hot day in June 2021 when we visited the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Norwich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Norwich</span></a> Underground Street. </p><p>The ‘street’ is a few of the properties that used to be at street level several hundred years ago in Castle Meadow.</p><p>It’s well worth a visit!</p><p>There are a few undercrofts in the city that are accessible during Heritage Week in September every year (eg. Dragon Hall now the National Writing Centre) or there’s Bedfords and the Bridewell Museum. </p><p>But the Underground Street is the best!</p>
Juggling With Eggs<p>I’ve spent a lot of time looking into <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Norwich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Norwich</span></a>’s huge system of underground tunnels and chalk mines, so I was excited to see their presence: </p><p>‘The underground streets in Marlington are a hugely important part of the book, and these, too, are based on the ones in Norwich. Anyone visiting the city (or anyone living there who hasn’t done so already) should really book a tour of them with Shoebox Experiences. They are an intriguing – and sometimes downright creepy – part of Norwich’s history. ‘</p>
Juggling With Eggs<p>My good friend, Shane Brown writes wonderfully atmospheric ghost and horror stories with historic <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Norwich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Norwich</span></a> and mysterious <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Norfolk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Norfolk</span></a> as their backdrop. </p><p>His best work to date, ‘Welcome to Marlington’ is sadly often ignored in favour of his shorter ghost stories. He refused to name check Norwich in the title, because he didn’t want bad luck to befall our fine city. </p><p>But the real city seeps through</p><p><a href="https://silentmovieblog.wordpress.com/2025/03/19/influences-from-norwich-in-welcome-to-marlington/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">silentmovieblog.wordpress.com/</span><span class="invisible">2025/03/19/influences-from-norwich-in-welcome-to-marlington/</span></a>?</p>
Juggling With Eggs<p>Great news for <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Norwich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Norwich</span></a> to be hailed as one of the UK’s best <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/CarFree" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CarFree</span></a> destinations for a break…and I can just imagine the wails of anguish from <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Archant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Archant</span></a>’s Norwich Evening News readership. </p><p>Most stories are now hidden behind a paywall, which only the most ardent of rightwing Boomers can be bothered to subscribe to.</p>
Juggling With Eggs<p>Latest job advert for crossing patrol staff across the county by <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Norfolk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Norfolk</span></a> County Council.</p><p>Currently 13 vacancies, at least four are schools in <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Norwich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Norwich</span></a>.</p><p>These vacancies haven’t be filled for months, in some cases years.</p><p>If the jobs cannot be filled due to low wages and limited working hours, do we just let the dangerous road situation continue for kids?

Juggling With Eggs<p>‘The most left-wing MP in the region [East Anglia] is the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Green" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Green</span></a> party’s co-leader, Adrian Ramsay (Waveney Valley). He is the party’s sole MP in the region and takes that lead narrowly from Clive Lewis.’</p><p>Not at all suprised that Adrian Ramsey and Clive Lewis are the most leftwing politicians in our region. Alice MacDonald for <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Norwich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Norwich</span></a> North comes in at number 5. </p><p>But can they inspire the kind of change in their constituencies that make their neighbours say ‘we want some of that’? I hope so.</p>
Juggling With Eggs<p>I was persuaded by a local activist to watch this Channel 5 documentary with Alexis Conran…Heat Pumps: Are they worth it? It was partly filmed in <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Norwich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Norwich</span></a>! </p><p>I thought it was fairly informative. Yes, they are more expensive, but there are grants. Yes, they would be cheaper to run if <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Labour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Labour</span></a> taxed electricity less than gas. Yes, sometimes you do need planning permission. </p><p>But do you consider the payback time of a gas boiler?

Juggling With Eggs<p>I’ve just clocked the exact location…I’ve been leafleting about retrofit in the surrounding side streets. </p><p>There is a primary and junior school on the doorstep, as well as Mousehold Heath a stone’s throw from it. </p><p>This is very serious. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Norwich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Norwich</span></a><br><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Fire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fire</span></a></p>
