A shop which has been a part of the Norwich Lanes for 50 years has announced its closure.
Wilkinson's, a tea and coffee retailer in Lobster Lane, has a note in the window of its shop front telling customers of its closure.
Owner Rick Harris wrote: "The day has come sadly to close our doors, we thank you for your custom and wish you well.
"On behalf of the management, we hope you've enjoyed the past years on Lobster Lane as much as we have."

Known for its wide selection of loose-leaf teas and ground coffee, the closure - in the business's 50th year - will come as a shock to many of its loyal customers in the city.
The shop suffered earlier this year after supply issues forced them to pause sales.
On February 3, the shop explained its struggles to customers on social media, saying that rumours they were going out of business "couldn't be further from the truth".
No plans for any future business ventures have been announced at this time.
