Visitors to Norwich Cathedral will soon have a new place to stop for a drink after a new coffee shop announced it was opening in a former jewellery shop.
Blue Bear Coffee Co is planning to open its first shop in the city's Tombland area at the former site of Tombland Jewellers and Silversmiths.

The charity coffee company aims to save children from exploitation and abuse in the Dominican Republic, raising money by serving a wide range of different blends from independent farmers from around the world accompanied by doughnuts.
Currently, the company sells its products online and on pop-up stalls at events around the country, most recently appearing at Norwich Triathlon.

Work at the shop has already seen its exterior painted blue and its bear mascot placed in the window.
It comes as a number of empty Tombland premises are filled, with the Edith Cavell pub to reopen on Thursday and a Turkish restaurant to replace Prezzo in the street.
Blue Bear Coffee Co has already begun recruiting staff for the shop.
It is not yet known when the new business will open.
