title The Death of Debenhams, Rampant Horse Street, Norwich, Norfolk - 17th April 2021 intro We're in Norwich where it's the last few weeks of that former stalwart of the High Street - Debenhams - ground down by debt thanks to bad ownership and finally killed off by the pandemic. There's also a Socialist Worker/Extinction Rebellion mash-up "Kill the Bill" demonstration, which we first see outside the city hall and then catch again briefly as it noisily wends its way up St. Stephen's Street as we're heading in the vague direction of John Lewis. But before all of that, it's the first night where the pubs are sort-of open, so we head up to Bruha - formerly known as Station 119 - on Eye Airfield for a freezing evening on the car park, where it's pretty much the same people as were there on the last night all those months before, so it's like nothing happened. imgp6947 Bruha brewery, aka Station 119 imgp6948 Marc's on the phone imgp6949 Mick the Brick arrives on his bike imgp6951 A plane flies overhead imgp6954 Harry and Isobel on the roof of St. Andrew's imgp6955 A tall crane looms over the car park imgp6957 Harry legs it down the stairs imgp6958 Harry and Isobel in a St. Andrew's stair well imgp6959 The old Eastern Electricty office in Norwich imgp6961 Harry and Isobel on Upper Giles Street imgp6963 Norwich Market is busy imgp6964 Demonstrators outside City Hall imgp6966 There's a "kill the bill" demo outside City Hall imgp6969 Kill the Bill on St. Peter's Street imgp6973 Work-in-progress wall art in Norwich Market imgp6974 Harry and Isobel lurk by the churros stall imgp6976 In the Churros/Spanish-produce stall imgp6977 Amusing take on the Che Guevara picture imgp6978 The Churros get chocolate sauce added imgp6980 The queue for Primark stretches to the Forum imgp6982 Queueing for Primark, as featured on the news imgp6984 Gentleman's Walk is busy imgp6986 The one-time Thomas Cook travel agents is closed imgp6987 Debenhams on Rampant Horse Street imgp6988 Everything must go imgp6989 Harry roams around the "smell" department imgp6990 Clinique and Clarins have cleared out already imgp6992 Isobel considers some discount products imgp6994 Some kitchenware is on sale imgp6995 It's meanswear, down in the basement imgp6996 Harry wanders around with his bargains imgp6997 Jackets and trousers on sale imgp6998 Isobel wanders about looking for stuff imgp6999 The menswear department empties out imgp7000 Another view of menswear imgp7001 Isobel and Harry queue up to pay for stuff imgp7002 Back on the ground floor imgp7005 St. Stephen's Street is devoid of traffic imgp7006 The demo moves down from the roundabout imgp7010 Extinction Rebellion leads the way imgp7012 The drum section imgp7015 XR flags are flying imgp7016 The crowds shout about the fascist police imgp7018 The demo moves along St. Stephen's imgp7021 More loud drumming imgp7028 More punks, fewer pigs, on a skateboard imgp7030 The demonstration passes by Superdrug imgp7040 Police in masks imgp7042 The police follow the tail of the demo imgp7047 The demo passes Debenhams imgp7048 Westlegate Tower gets some work done imgp7049 Looking up Westlegate to John Lewis on All Saints imgp7050 Warings "Lifestore", whatever that is imgp7051 There's an antique fair on in the old church imgp7052 Harry puts some money in Peter Turrell's guitar box imgp7053 Peter Turrell plays Recuerdos de Alhambra imgp7054 John Lewis is fully down with the Royal funeral imgp7055 Isobel and Harry look around in the games section imgp7056 There's a bit more of a queue outside Debenhams imgp7058 A pigeon pecks the ground on Gaol Hill imgp7059 Exchange Street and Jarrolds imgp7060 Harry on the top deck of St. Andrew's car park imgp7063 A view of Norwich Cathedral imgp7065 At The Handyman in Eye, there's an inflatable with Ollie's face on it
