  Norwich

  Norwich,the capital of the part of Britain known as East Anglia,has been in existence for more than two thousand years.It began as a small village beside the Rivet.Wensum.At the time of the Norman invasion in 1066 it had grown.to become one of the 1argest towns in England.

  With two cathedrals and a mosque(清真寺),Norwich has long been a popular centre for various religions.The first cathedral was built in 1095 and has recently celebrated its 900th anniversary,while Norwich itself had a year of celebration in l 994 to mark the 800th anniversary of the city receiving a Royal Charter.This allowed it to be called a city and to govem itself independently.

  Today,in comparison with places like London or Manchester,Norwich is quite small,with a population of around 150,000.but in the l6th century Norwich was the second largest city of England.It continued to grow for the next 300 years and got richer and richer,becoming famous for having as many churches as there are weeks in the year and as many pubs as there are days in

  the year.

  Nowadays.there are far fewer churches and pubs.but in l964 the University of East Anglia was built in Norwich.with its fast.growing student population and its success as a modem eommercial centre(Norwich is the biggest centre for insurance services outside London).the city now has a wide chcIice of entertainment:theatres,cinemas,nightclubs,busy cafes,excellent

  restaurants,and a number of arts aiad leisure centrgs.There is also a football team,whose colours are green and yellow.The team is known as"The Canaries(金丝雀)",though nobody call be sure why.

  Now the city's attractions include another important development,a modem shopping center called'The Castle Mall'.The people of Norwich lived with a very 1arge hole in the middle of their for over two years,as builders dug up the main car park.Lorries moved nearly a million tons of earth so that the roof of the Mall could become a city centre park.with attractive water pools and hundreds of trees.But the local people are really pleased that the old open market remains.right in the heart of the city and next to the new development . Both areas continue to do good business.proving that Norwich has managed to mix the best of the old and the new.
