This shoe dates back to the 1500s and was found at St Benedict’s Gate in 1951. Unbelievably, this left boot is fully intact and in amazing condition. It would have been worn by a medieval worker as they went about their daily life in Norwich and is a fascinating piece to see up-close. This is also likely to appeal to local history enthusiasts or perhaps a large local employer wanting to give back to the city and workers that have supported it over the years.
