Human remains believed to be centuries old have been unearthed during demolition activities at Norwich's former Anglia Square shopping centre. The site is currently undergoing demolition to facilitate the construction of a large-scale development, which will include 1,100 new homes, primarily flats, alongside retail and leisure spaces.
City council representatives confirmed the discovery of a small number of human remains. These are understood to be connected to a medieval churchyard that was once part of the area. The council stated that the unearthed remains would be handled with the highest degree of care and respect.
Despite this significant historical find, officials indicated that the demolition and subsequent construction work would not be delayed. The project's progress is expected to continue as planned, moving forward with the redevelopment of the Anglia Square site.
