Was 2005 a good year for you?

It was the year London was announced as the host city for the 2012 Summer Olympics, after beating Paris in a tight vote.

And in city folk's headphones, We Belong Together by Mariah Carey and Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stefani were no doubt playing.

Here are some nostalgic photos of Norwich 21 years ago that will take you back to a simpler time.

One photo shows staff at Jozos, a stall on Norwich Market that once sold tea and coffee to people in need of a caffeine fix.

Two others show the old school feeling interior of the Woolpack pub and punters enjoying a pint at the Freemasons Arms.
