Part of Heritage Open Days.

In this talk and drawing on his latest book, ‘Quirky Norwich’, Pete Goodrum gives us a glimpse of some of the renegades, rebels, clowns, crooks and characters who, by their own quirkiness, have helped define Norwich as an unusual and interesting city.

After the talk, Pete will be hosting a book signing for Quirky Norwich and some of his other publications.
