Anglia Television Studios

A green plaque commemorates the former Anglia Television studios located at Agricultural Hall Plain in Norwich. This site holds significance as the operational base for the ITV franchise holder serving the East of England, once known as Anglia Television and now operating as ITV Anglia. The studios were central to regional broadcasting across a wide area including Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and several other counties. The plaque marks a location that was instrumental in the production of television content for viewers throughout the region.

The Norwich studios for Anglia Television were established at a site with a long and unusual history. Historically, the ground partially occupies the area of an Anglo-Scandinavian church, believed to have been constructed around the year 1000. This early church, an ancestor to the distinctive stave churches found in Norway, also had an associated graveyard. When television studios were later built on this land, they thus overlayed centuries of local heritage, merging a modern broadcasting hub with an ancient ecclesiastical footprint.

The green plaque can be found at Agricultural Hall Plain in Norwich, marking the location that once housed Anglia Television studios. Visitors to this city centre spot can observe the plaque and reflect on the site's dual historical significance, acknowledging both its broadcasting legacy and its deeper past as an Anglo-Scandinavian church and graveyard. The area is publicly accessible, allowing for respectful viewing.
