Norwich Survey (S2)
Two storey block with attics on street line, and two storey back range with yard. Interior gutted throughout for modern shop use. Details suggest a date of 1650-80 for the street range.

This building is amongst those listed in thesis (S3), which considers the 13th- to 17th-century buildings of Norwich. It is described as a two-storeyed building with timber-framed first floor walls and a double butt-purlin roof and first floor ceiling beams that indicate a mid-17th century date. To the rear and flanked on both sides by a yard is a two-storeyed block with flint rubble ground floor walls and timber-framed first floor walls. This dates to the early 17th century.
The 20th-century use of the building has unfortunately destroyed any evidence for the original plan forms.
