As pubs face closure and landlords fight to stay afloat, some communities are joining the fight to protect their locals.
A tool which has become relied upon is the asset of community value (ACV) - a process which gives buildings and areas an extra layer of protection.
Once listed, it will go onto a register for five years and, if put up for sale during that time, the community can enact the Community Right to Bid, which provides a six-month period in which they can decide if they can raise the cash to buy it.
The York Tavern, in Leicester Street, is the subject of an ongoing application.
People living near the pub, including Steve Wiseman, nominated it in June after it closed in January this year, thanks to a break down in lease negotiations.
A decision is expected any day.
But where are all the others?
- The Kimberley Arms, Trory Street

In 2017, pub owner Punch Taverns appealed for someone to take over the running of the business.

It has since become a multi-purpose private function room.
- The Quebec Tavern, Quebec Road
Expires on October 21, 2020
In February last year, Norwich City Council's planning committee gave permission for the tavern to be turned into homes.
The meeting heard that its listing as an ACV meant the local community had been given the chance to buy the pub, but that no groups came forward with offers.
- Number 12, Farmers Avenue
Expires on October 21, 2020
In March 2017, community groups were also given the chance to buy Number 12 after its owner Ei Publican Partnerships revealed it hoped to sell the building. It remains empty today.

In March this year, the clock began ticking when it was announced the building had been put up for sale with planning permission to turn it into two homes.
But, with the pub having been listed as an ACV by the Norwich and Norfolk branch of Camra in 2017, it meant the community was given the chance to buy it.
But with no offers arriving, in April this year, a phasing plan detailing works to turn it into two homes was lodged.
- The Freed Man, St Mildreds Road
Expires on November 3, 2022
Despite a hard-fought campaign, in January 2018 the city council backed plans to turn the west Earlham pub into a 34-bedroom student housing block.
Despite the pub being an ACV by that point, planning officers said: "Local planning authorities have discretion over whether to consider ACV listing a material planning consideration. Given the justification set out by the applicant discussed above, the loss of the public house is considered to be acceptable in this instance."
- Heath House, Gertrude Road

The bowling green was listed in 2015 after a dispute broke out between pub landlords and the Heath House Bowling Club, who were told they didn't drink enough beer to use the green.

But a new lease was eventually signed, and the pub remains open.
There is one entry on the list which isn't a pub - Train Wood, off Barker Street.
The Friends of Train Wood and Mariott's Way, which was set up in 2013, wanted to protected the woodland and riverbank and fend off development.
It came after Norfolk County Council listed the 12-acre woodland on its 'for sale' portfolio, but in 2014 the council confirmed the sale would not go ahead.
The area's listing will expire on November 19, 2023.
Just one ACV application has been rejected in the last five years.
On Christmas Eve, 2015, plans to list the Cricketers Rest, on Queens Road, were rejected, with an appeal of that decision set to be held on the same date in 2020.
The council said "nonwithstanding the length of time that the pub operated for prior to closing, that a period of five and a half years is too long for it to be concluded that the building has furthered hte interests of the local community or social wellbeing in the recent past".
