As another exciting independent business opens its doors in St Augustines Street, it now rivals the Norwich Lanes for shopping in the city.
Located on the edge of an area dubbed by Norwich BID (Business Improvement District) as the 'Creative Quarter Over the Water', this NR3 patch is often overlooked in favour of the city centre.
But in recent years, a whole host of independent businesses have opened up along St Augustines Street and it has been likened on many occasions to a "mini Norwich Lanes".

The latest launch was fashion and lifestyle shop Ninety Three Store at number 31 in July, stocking brands from across Europe that you won't find anywhere else in the city.
Speaking when it opened, owner Charlotte Ogley said: "Customers are really pleased to see St Augustines Street expanding - it is full of independent retailers and becoming a high street on its own."
