Norwich's industrial history and the legacy of Colman's are set to be explored in a special heritage walk through Norwich.

As part of Colman's Mustard Shop and Museum's celebrations of 200 years of Colman's in the city, author Nick Williams has organised a walking tour putting a spotlight on many of the industries that have prospered in Norwich.

Drapers, boot and shoe manufacturing, brewing and weaving are among the industries that will feature in the event which will also look at the impact of the Colman's mustard business on Norwich.

Mr Williams, author of Norwich: City of Industries, said: 'People tend to forget that Norwich was an industrial city... it has been home to industries ranging from textiles to engineering to food production.

'It was very much a place that made things and it is important that people remember that.'

About the walk, he said: 'The idea is to try and show people a bit of the city's industrial heritage and encourage them to look around, and particularly to look above ground level, when they are in the city.

'For example, if you look up on Guildhall Hill you will see the splendour of the old Chamberlins department store rather than just the modern day shop windows.'

The walking tour will finish at Colman's Mustard Shop and Museum, owned by Norwich's Heritage Economic and Regeneration Trust (HEART), with a talk on the history of the firm from retail business manager Nick Cook.

Among the many other events taking places this year to celebrate Colman's 200th anniversary are an exhibition on the history of Colman's at the Forum from November 12 to 22, the launch of a new limited edition whisky in partnership with the English Whisky Company, and a mustard murder mystery.
