17 photos of Castle Mall in Norwich through the decades

Here we take a look back at life in Castle Mall over the years through photos found in our archives.

Castle Mall was rebranded as Castle Quarter in 2019, transforming the centre from a simple shopping mall to a more experiential destination with a gym and a bowling alley.

In 1990, The Castle Hotel was demolished and work began, before the mall opened in 1993.

Twelve years later Chapelfield shopping centre - now Chantry Place - opened in 2005.
