Steeped in history, the Long Shop was built in 1852 by Richard Garrett as one of Great Britain's first production lines for steam engines. Traction engines, steamrollers, electric trolleybuses and even ammunition were produced here. The ancient Norman Keep of Norwich Castle dominates the city below. Once a royal palace, the Castle is now the centrepiece of a museum housing one of England's finest regional collections of natural history, art and archeology. The collection features a massive Vulcan bomber and some of the military and civil aircraft which have flown from Norfolk airfields.
