Abandoned Boozers of Norwich #5: The Woolpack

Not entirely sure if this one counts: only fairly recently empty, and still in decent enough condition, the ‘To Let’ signs adorning the outside walls suggest it is perfectly feasible that The Woolpack will be open and serving again in the near future. However, its current limbo state in itself speaks volumes. The past few years do seem to have been punctuated by periods in which The Woolpack has been forced to close its doors for months on end.


Although situated opposite the large Norwich Union building on Colegate, with all the potential post-work drinking this could bring, The Woolpack has strong (and seemingly healthy) competition with the nearby Playhouse Bar and Golden Star respectively.
