Millennium Plain
The Forum, Millennium Plain
The Central Library used to be here before The Forum.
Norwich central Library caught fire on August 1st 1994. This required the attendance of 23 pumping fire appliances plus specialist support vehicles. Due to the rapid spread of the fire and construction of the building it was severely damaged and replaced with the forum. Many books are artefacts were salvaged by fire crews. The cause was an electrical fault on shelf lighting.
After the fire The Forum was built a few years later and the library was put back in The Forum along with BBC Norfolk with Look East and BBC Radio Norfolk coming from there and a Pizza place.
On 27th April 2007 The Chris Moyles show on BBC Radio 1 came live from BBC Radio Norfolk at The Forum. Dominic Byrne also got to host the mid morning show phone in with Nicky Barnes and Chris Goreham which was a lifelong ambition! Here it here
Greg James used to answer the phones on Canary Call which is the Norwich football phone in show. He was also on Future Radio and station manager at Livewire at the UEA.
