In The Lanes, snow is glistening...
We already love Norwich Lanes’ combination of olde-worlde charm, 300 independent businesses, and wonderful pubs and restaurants all crammed into intimate cobbled medieval backstreets, so we weren’t surprised to hear they’ve only gone and won a National High Street Award! 135 ‘high streets’ were nominated, and up against Glasgow Style Mile & Park Street Bristol, Te Lanes shone through as the super-best, well deserved winners.
We took ourselves off for a “research mission” (shopping spree) around some of the wonderfully original independent shops in the Norwich Lanes and checked out what unusual pressies for your most beloved people you could grab ahead of December 25th this year.
