Was Norwich England's first UNESCO city of literature?

There was a lot of Ipswich bias on Look East especially leading up towards the end of the season. There is one club they hold of a special spot for and that's MK Dons, considering the size of and the notoriety of the club it's a bit of joke the amount of coverage they get.
