====Pubs and brewing====
The city had a long tradition of brewing.<ref>[http://www.museums.norfolk.gov.uk/default.asp?Document=400.740.51x2 Norfolk Museums & Archaeology Service website] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110727215221/http://www.museums.norfolk.gov.uk/default.asp?Document=400.740.51x2 |date=27 July 2011}} — "Brewing in Norwich".</ref> Several large [[brewery|breweries]] continued into the second half of the 20th century, notably Morgans, [[Steward & Patteson]], Youngs Crawshay and Youngs, Bullard and Son, and the Norwich Brewery. Despite takeovers and consolidation in the 1950s and 1960s, only the Norwich Brewery (owned by [[Watney Combe & Reid|Watney Mann]] and on the site of Morgans) remained by the 1970s. That too closed in 1985 and was then demolished. Only [[Microbrewery|microbreweries]] remain today.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Holmes |first=Frances and Michael |title=Norwich Pubs and Breweries Past and Present |publisher=Norwich Heritage Projects |year=2011 |isbn=978-0-9566272-2-3}}</ref>

It was stated by Walter Wicks in his book that Norwich once had "a pub for every day of the year and a church for every Sunday". This was in fact significantly under the actual amount: the highest number of pubs in the city was in the year 1870, with over 780 beer-houses. A "Drink Map" produced in 1892 by the Norwich and Norfolk Gospel Temperance Union showed 631 pubs in and around the city centre. By 1900, the number had dropped to 441 pubs within the City Walls. The title of a pub for every day of the year survived until 1966, when the Chief Constable informed the Licensing Justices that only 355 licences were still operative, with the number still shrinking: over 25 had closed in the last decade.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/the-city-of-pubs-but-more-than-25-have-closed-in-the-past-decade-1-5176681 |title=The city of pubs – but more than 25 have closed in the past decade |last=Betts |first=Marc |work=Eastern Daily Press |access-date=29 August 2018 |language=en |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180830041430/http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/the-city-of-pubs-but-more-than-25-have-closed-in-the-past-decade-1-5176681 |archive-date=30 August 2018 |url-status=live}}</ref> In 2018, about 100 pubs remained open around the city centre.
