The children, from Lakenham Primary School, have been on an exciting adventure to make the trail – visiting the 12 buildings, choosing secret objects and features and adding them to their trail. They have designed every bit of it from colour to layout and text and have even invented a time travelling professor, Prof O, to help you explore the buildings.
The project was been designed and delivered by local heritage organisation LivingNorwich alongside the Castle Museum. The students, aged 7-9, have named the project The Norwich 12 Histories and Mysteries.
“This has been an amazing opportunity to see Norwich through the eyes of children. The best way to engage kids in heritage is to let them lead the way and these 12 children have certainly done that!”
The project was inspired by a collection of 12 iconic buildings in Norwich grouped together by the Heritage Economic and Regeneration Trust (HEART) to represent different periods of city history. HEART have also provided the funding via the European Union Shaping 24 programme.
