#norwich — Modernist Delights

Car parking stairwell, Anglia Square shopping centre, Norwich, 2024

A tall concrete and glass stairwell rises alongside a red and white striped multi-story parking garage under a clear blue sky. Below, a Savers store and other shops are visible under a beige overhang decorated with hanging lights.

We got so lucky with the light! The Savers looking positively resplendent.

Spiral staircase at Sovereign House, Anglia Square, Norwich, 2024

A modernist building with angular lines and a glass cylindrical stairwell rises above street level, catching sunlight. Below, shopfronts including Quality Discounts are visible. The sky is clear and blue, with a few wispy clouds overhead.

Definitely want to see more of this city, will have to come back in 2025 (and hopefully at a more reasonable temperature, and hopefully before they demolish this beauty!).

This post full of photos of Sovereign House from an urbex standpoint is well worth taking a look at, too.
