Mr Hooton said between 1870s and 1890s there were an estimated 600 pubs within the historic city walls, compared to around 80 that now exist.
He said there were a variety of reasons why there were fewer pubs running now, from changing habits in society including buying supermarket alcohol and households watching more television in the evenings, to taxation and stricter drink drive laws.
There was also a reduction in pubs around the 19th century because of the temperance movement, which saw a rise against the consumption of alcoholic drinks in society.

Studying at London’s Royal Academy of Music, she graduated in 1958. Later, she taught music at Aylsham Secondary Modern School and even sang at Norwich Prison.
She studied in Switzerland with the famed Frederick Husler after which she moved to London and sang on a full-time basis.
Her London debut came in 1964 at a Park Lane Group concert and her first BBC broadcast was in 1965 – singing Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire. Her performance of his melodrama received widespread critical acclaim and is still regarded as a benchmark recording of the work. She performed Pierrot more than 100 times in her career and again at the Assembly House in February 2014.

More than half of Norfolk and Waveney is now Covid-free as infection rates continue to tumble across the county.
In all, 68 of the 125 neighbourhoods in the county recorded rates of zero per 100,000 – meaning there were so few cases that information was suppressed to protect people’s privacy.
Norfolk s overall rate continued to fall, reaching 39 per 100,000 on March 2, while just two of the county s local authorities - Breckland and King s Lynn and West Norfolk - saw more than 50 per 100,000.
Some areas of the county have been Covid-free for weeks.
I was sad was I when it was time to pack away my wedding dress in the wardrobe. I’d waited so long to wear it, and now it was being put away, retired for the rest of my days. I’m enjoying it all over again. The mud on the hem from our photo shoot in the woods, the little drops of something down the front. All little reminders of one of the calmest, loveliest days I’ve ever spent. The day I married my best friend.
