This is a really helpful clip. I use it with my class to answer our history question "Why is our school called Magdalen Gates Primary School." Thank you very much Derek

That was great! How i wish that these gates were still standing.

This is a seriously superb piece if work ,can't get enough of historical Norwich,top notch

Fantastic video! I'm a Norwich girl, born and bred, but I'd forgotten about how beautiful those walls are when you really stand and look at them. They blend into the background of day to day life, but deserve more attention. Thank heavens they are protected by law and cannot be touched or removed.

Excellent video, Derek. I particularly appreciated how you composited the appearance of the original city gates onto the current cityscape. Really, really interesting. Thanks for taking the time and trouble to do this, and to share it for people to see.

Awesomeness

Excellent.

We’ll done. Preferred the format. Great images. Thanks.

Fascinating and some not where I imagined Thank you 👍🏻

Thanks for this, it's a brilliant piece of work I love it :)

Great video, didn’t realise how much of the wall still existed. Having been away from Norwich for 40 years hard to recognise some of it! Really enjoyed watching .

Derek , your the man.

Great idea. I planned (and carried out) a pub crawl following the city walls last year. Surprised people with how complete some parts still are. Thanks for doing this and making it available

Fantastic. video, I love our Fine City. Thank you

I've constructed some of the walls looks great

so intresting thanks for filling in the gaps x

Brilliant video, thanks for sharing

This is brilliant. Could you create a walking tour where these could be virtual?

Very interesting and well executed. Thank you.

This is very well done, great job! Would be cool to see some of this in VR

Really enjoyed this and great to see the gates set in modern times, clever. Thank you

Excellent piece of work, thank you

Very good!

Thank you for your hard work 👏👏👏

Great work Sir. Whose doing the mix? Great tunige

This is great 🙂

NICE 1.......................

Really enjoyed it thanks for sharing. I was born in King Street and used to play along the City wall and in the Black Tower. You are probably aware of The Gates of Norwich by Robert Fitch with etchings byJohn Ninham

This is amazing congratulations, is it actually augmented reality you can access through your phone? Would love to chat to the creator to consider something similar for Coventry

It was just photoshop drawings based on an artists line drawings of the gates.

This is a seriously superb piece if work, apart from that awful machine hi-hat percussion clapping madness. Can anyone stand it for the duration? I lasted 20seconds before hitting the mute button.

So you don't like music, sorry about that but Norwich is a living contemporary city and this is set in the 21st century. But to be honest it is a silent film, the soundtrack has no relevance. Still, glad you more or less liked it..

Where was Heigham gate? You didn’t put a street name for it.

Good point! It was on Heigham Street, which became Westwick Street on the city side of the gate. The inner ring road cut the direct link, the actual gate would have been where Westwick Street joins the southbound side of Barn Road.

was the red lion pub closed

Yeah, it was shut for about a year I think. It's open again now.

Great video, excellent artwork and graphics. Shame about the awful ear shattering music.

Derek Williams Yes I turned it right off. This great video needed atmospheric music to create a historical mood.

Derek that’s precisely why it needs more appropriate music. That techno stuff just didn’t fit. Basically it wasn’t good enough for such a brilliant video.

​@@peterdenington7257 Well, that's your opinion. Music is always a marmite thing. I chose what I liked, in my opinion it fits quite well but there you go.
