Mr Dickson said: "People are fascinated.

"I have both visitors and local people and by and large I'm revealing information for them that they're not aware of - like the fact the Norwich Castle used to be a county prison."

Tickets to Norwich on the Darkside and all of Mr Dickson's tours are available on his website from £9 per person.
