Norwich Street Art
9. London Street (best viewed from Bedford Street).
With plenty of folklore influences, this mural is designed by Norwich University of the Arts graduate Ella goodwin.
Of her design she said: “Norfolk Folklore has it that cats w ere buried in walls to ward away spirits a long time ago (1700s), my design is inspired by this but takes on much more uplifting and whimsical viewpoint that they may also be the hourse themselves amongst a scaled up landscape of vibrant florals. The illustration would have a cutaway design to reveal the “inside” of the cat houses and so feel like the building itself was being revealed. I chose the Ticket Boo site for this becuse of the nature of the local shops such an Inanna’s festival, The Book Hive and Tickety Boo. All of which are independent shops filled with stories. This felt an appropriate spot for aa somewhat fantastical forkloric design”.
It’s acutally situated on London Street but is best viewed by far from Bedford Street!
City of Stories murals
Colourful murals celebrating Norwich as a literary hub are helping promote the city, according to a business leader.

Art has long been a story in Norwich with many of the city’s attractions featuring exhibition spaces and permanent galleries. But when the museums and galleries have closed what art is there to see?
Norwich has seven amazing large outdoor murals to see all year round – no entrance charge, no opening and closing times – just there to be enjoyed all year round for everyone.

Pottergate - Designed by Julia Allum, stacks of books are used to create a Norfolk landscape, with the river Wensum running through Bishops bridge into a broads scene on the left of the mural.
Tickety Boo! - Designed by Ella Goodwin and best viewed from Bedford Street, the illustration of the cats feature a landscape of vibrant florals and a cutaway design to reveal the “insides” of the building.
