Norwich: 16 pictures looking back at Planet Ice in Hellesdon

The former ice rink and sports centre has sat disused and empty for more than a decade but it could soon have new life breathed into it after being sold to new owners.

Did you frequent the much-loved former ice rink in Hellesdon?

Perhaps you can spot yourself in these pictures as we skate back in time.
