A forensics tent has been erected and two police officers are standing guard outside the entrance to the area which has been sealed off while police carry out enquiries.
The death is being treated as unexplained.
Alan Copperwheat, 66, of Swan Yard, opposite to the alley way where the body was discovered said: 'It's dreadful. Norwich is a fairly safe and it feels quite peaceful here.'
Simon Buller, 39, the owner of CourageNoble Barbershop and Supplies said: 'It's not nice and it's not pleasant.'
Police have not released any details about the age or identity of the man.
