This week marked 50 years since one of Norwich s most recognisable buildings, City Hall, became a listed building.
The building, which houses Norwich City Council and Norfolk Constabulary s Bethel Street Police Station, was first listed with Historic England on January 29, 1971 – more than three decades after it was first opened.

One of the finest English municipal buildings to be constructed during the inter-war period, City Hall was initially designed in 1931 by architects James and Pierce, who fended off competition from 142 other entrants in a public contest.

Standing guard and overlooking Norwich, they are two of the city s most familiar residents.
And the lions outside City Hall are now being used to encourage people to wear their face masks and protect against coronavirus when out and about in Norwich.
Norwich City Council has fitted two extra-large face coverings to the lions, after being approached by Terry Hylton and Jon Page with the idea. The pair then produced the masks used.
