Norwich Street Art

3. Tesco/Evans

 

Here be Dragons! Beautiful and vibrant, our cheeky dragon is keeping an eye on you and the rest of Norwich! Designed by artist Malca Schotten, our friendly dragon was inspired by the last Snap Dragon in Norwich - based at the Castle. Dragons have been closely associated with the city since the Middle Ages - the wording on his scroll was uncovered at the Castle!

 

Should Twenty Thousand Dragons Rise,

I’d Fight Them All Before Your Eyes!

Colourful murals celebrating Norwich as a literary hub are helping promote the city, according to a business leader.

 

Norwich Business Improvement District (BID), commissioned the seven large city centre paintings for the City of Stories project, which were completed in 2016/17.
