TALK Norwich in the 1980s Speaker: Pete Goodrum

Battered by storms and bad weather, launching new flights from its airport and loving leg warmers like everyone else, Norwich fully embraced the 80s. The Norwich Beer Festival became an annual event and The Argyle Street Alternative Republic came to an end. Ritzy’s was the place to go, and new places to eat eclipsed the Berni of the 70s. Our interior decor became more colourful and some of our fashion choices became more questionable. Brace for nostalgia!

Pete Goodrum is a writer and broadcaster, and author of several books on local history. He frequently broadcasts on radio, on a range of subjects and gives talks based on his books.
