TOMBLAND ALLEY

Tombland Alley is erstwhile known to be a central marketplace of Norwich, England. The name “Tombland '' originated from two different English words, “empty and market,” which points out the area was the leading and former marketplace before the establishment of Norman habitats in 1066. It is also known as a 16th century haunted footpath because a girl was trapped and died in Tombland Alley.

The magnificent architecture of Tombland Alley is one of the main facets that attracts many tourists. It is situated behind Tombland in the country of Norwich, and people can find an array of 16-century buildings along with the debris of the missing synagogue.

Tomland Alley comprises some offices used now to celebrate Norfolk Norwich Festival. Alley is one of the places in Norwich that upholds several histories of the Ketts Rebellion through the mediaeval narrow street under the area of Tombland. At present, these streets stretch with the Castle meadow and market.
