Norwich is a city in East Anglia, in
Eastern England. It is the regional administrative centre and county town of
Norfolk. The suburban area expands beyond its boundary, with extensive suburban
areas outside the city on the western, northern and eastern sides, including
Thorpe St. Andrew on the eastern side. The Parliamentary seats cross over into
adjacent local government districts. 129,500 (2006 est) people live in the
Norwich City Council area. Norwich is the fourth most densely populated Local
Authority District within the Eastern Region with 3,319 people per square
kilometre (8,592 per square mile). The Department for Communities and Local
Government recently considered whether Norwich should become a unitary
authority, separate from Norfolk County Council. [It was not selected as one of
the new creations in July 2007 as its proposals did not meet the strict
criteria. In the early part of the 20th century Norwich still had several major
manufacturing industries. Among these were the manufacture of shoes (for example
the Start-rite brand), clothing, joinery, and structural engineering as well as
aircraft design and manufacture. Important employers included Boulton & Paul,
Barnards (inventors of machine produced wire netting), and electrical engineers
Laurence Scott and Electromotors. Norwich also has a long association with
chocolate manufacture, primarily through the local firm of Caley's, which began
as a manufacturer and bottler of mineral water and later diversified into making
chocolate and Christmas crackers. Caley's was acquired by Mackintosh in the
1930s. It merged with Rowntree's in 1969 to become Rowntree-Mackintosh; it
finally was bought by Nestlé and closed down in 1996 with all operations moved
to York, ending a 120-year association with Norwich. The factory existed on the
site of what is now the Chapelfield development. Caley's chocolate has since
made a reappearance as a brand, and is still produced in Norwich.
HMSO, once the official publishing and stationery arm of the British government
and one of the largest print buyers, printers and suppliers of office equipment
in the UK, moved most of its operations from London to Norwich in the 1970s.
Jarrolds, established in 1810, was a well-known printer and publisher. Norwich
suffered extensive bomb damage during World War II, affecting large parts of the
old city centre and Victorian terrace housing around the centre. Industry and
the rail infrastructure also suffered. The heaviest raids occurred on the nights
of 27/28th and 29/30 April 1942; as part of the Baedeker raids (so called
because Baedeker's series of tourist guides to the British Isles were used to
select propaganda rich targets of cultural and historic significance rather than
strategic importance). Lord Haw-Haw made reference to the imminent destruction
of Norwich's new City Hall (completed in 1938), although in the event it
survived unscathed. Significant targets hit included the Morgan's Brewery
building, Colman's Wincarnis works, City Station, the Mackintosh chocolate
factory, and shopping areas including St. Stephen's Street, St. Benedict's
Street, the site of Bonds department store and Curls department store (now
Debenhams).
