title A Visit to St. John the Baptist Cathedral, Unthank Road, Norwich - 18th December 2025 intro Isobel's in Norwich for a work session in the library, so Nosher tags along too for something to do. One of the places never before seen in nearly 40 years of familiarity with the city - and despite having lived less than 500 metres away from it in the 80s - is the Catholic cathedral of St. John the Baptist on Unthank Road, and so that omission is fixed with a look around. The impressive building - assigned cathedral status in 1976 - was designed by George Gilbert Scott Junior in a Gothic Revival style, was completed in 1910, and is considered one of the finest examples of its type. imgp5302 Captain America's is up for sale after 40 years imgp5304 New street art on the old Tesco on Guildhall imgp5305 A Fine City with a canary imgp5309 1980s architecture on St. Giles imgp5312 Statues on the back wall of City Hall imgp5313 The old fire station on Bethel Street imgp5316 Scratched graffiti on a wall in St. Giles Terrace imgp5317 An alley off St. Giles imgp5318 The church of St. Giles on the Hill imgp5320 Part of the Roman Catholic cathedral imgp5322 The nave of St. John the Baptist in Norwich imgp5325 Unusual but effective stained glass imgp5326 Further up the nave of the cathedral imgp5327 The transept of St. John imgp5330 Looking up at the base of the tower at the crossing imgp5331 Impressive stained glass in the cathedral imgp5332 Frosterley Marble columns with fossilised crinoids imgp5335 The 60s church next door imgp5336 An impressive Norwich building imgp5339 It's umbrellas all round on the Haymarket imgp5340 Thousands of dangling lights on Hay Hill imgp5346 Wet pavement slabs outside Primark imgp5351 Fruit and veg on Norwich Market imgp5353 Isobel heads into Jarrold's
