Did my degree at the poly there - '85 - '88. Lived in Stoke just off Far Gosford Street on

St Margaret's Road. Local was the Gosford Arms (Park?).

First year lived above The Smithfield Arms (used to be a brewery hotel) - just happened to be the local HQ of The National Front - nice!

Waters was in the centre of town, set back from one of the main pedestrian walkways, just down from Barclays.

Watched Cov quite a bit back then when I couldn't get back to Norwich for games - was there for the cup win in 87 - the city was mental.

Had a really good three years there, some great pubs, clubs were rubbish tho' - Busters in the precinct?
