Coronavirus: Norwich 'ghost city' revealed in photographs

A city resident has chronicled lockdown in a series of photos showing how people are obeying instructions to slow the spread of coronavirus.

Dickie Hartt, 63, who lives in the centre of Norwich, has used his daily exercise walks to photograph the city.

"When I started my walks, I noticed how quiet Norwich was," he said.

Mr Hartt said he wanted to show how people were following rules to "to stay at home and maintain social distancing when outside".

"I thought I'd take some photos with my cameraphone as a diary record and post them on Facebook," he said.

Mr Hartt, who moved back to Norwich in 2011 and is a guitarist and country singer on the local music scene, takes his walks in the late morning.

"Luckily, I live in the centre of Norwich, close to the river, and simply walking round the city is a joy," he said.

"The few people I have seen carefully avoid each other, maybe crossing the road to maintain at least two metres apart - it's the new kind of etiquette.

"I haven't seen more animals about, maybe less as there isn't the discarded food about for the seagulls."
