RedBall Norwich made its curtain call at the beloved architectural monument and one of two cathedrals in the city, the Norwich Cathedral. This historical fifteenth century structure featured for the day RedBall within the popular thoroughfare of the Erpingham Gate. Just above the piece and through the archway, the cathedral’s facade was partially visible, a bizarre yet ideal pairing for the final day of RedBall’s journey through the city, and one that most visitors (both the seasoned and unsuspecting) highly favored. The blocked portal allowed frequent users to enjoy a near detour to the back green space near the cathedral’s entrance, a perfect place to picnic and on such a beautiful day many took advantage. It was a peaceful space and yet was quite busy, much of the crowd having taken time to sit there as a residual effect from visiting the piece.
The project’s avid viewers all made their appearances to say farewell and reminisce about their experiences with the project, and the staff appreciated the kindness of the city. We got to know many of you, seeing your pictures, hearing your stories, learning your city’s history–we will miss it all!
A big thank-you to those who embraced the project, and to those who worked so hard to make this possible for one of RedBall’s longest runs!
