NORWICH upcoming replicas [Depreciated]

This is a short post to outline some possible buildings in the Norwich Project. As always, major updates will be posted here and on my Planet Minecraft profile. For now though, I’ll be taking a break before I go mad replicating each detail! Other blog content will be published as usual whenever inspiration strikes.

The Norwich cathedral

Due to popular demand, the next building in the project will actually be a large scale replica of the Norwich Cathedral! Built in the 11th century, the cathedral is an impressive church and heritage site in the heart of Norwich. Many cathedrals have been built in Minecraft before, but this one was not.

Plenty of references exists for this building, including tours of the inside: Virtual Tour | Norwich Cathedral

Anglia Square center

Another planned recreation is the derelict Anglia Square shopping center, built in the 1970s. It features a closed Hollywood Cinema, closed multi-storey car park, and an empty (and you guessed it, closed!) office.

The Square is open to the public and comes with plenty of building reference. Although, due to the scale of the whole thing I might do a scaled-down replica instead. Store-Directory-2021.pdf (angliasq.com)

Updates and notes

Other vague replica ideas include the Forum, a natural progression from the City Hall (the two buildings are neighboring). Apart from landmarks, other buildings to recreate could be the Cathedral retail park or other major housing around Norwich: Tower blocks | Tower blocks | Norwich City Council

The Train Station and surrounding Riverside area is also interesting. Anything could be built really… duh.

However, putting things into perspective, I might move away from exact replicas quicker than I thought. There’s just so much to consider including finding the proper reference. Semi-replicas are always an option, where creativity can fill in what lacks reference! We’ll see. Thank you for reading my ramblings.
