While this area of Norwich may have seen quieter days, it has always been full of hustle and bustle.
Recently there have been lots of changes to the city's transport network, with one-way systems and more pedestrianised areas created.
These fascinating images show how one of the city's busiest roads has evolved over the years, and also the way we travel along it.
