NHER 39598 (Monument record) - Site of Cremorne House, Frogs Hall Lane

Building stated [1] to be of interest but no details known; it was rejected for listing. Name comes form the Cremorne pleasure gardens to southwest and 'Frogshall' may here be a pun on Vauxhall.
E. Rose (NLA), 20 March 2000.

The house dates to around 1840. It has a Tudor style window (perhaps genuine and reused?) and chimney, but is otherwise in Regency style. Nothing is shown here on maps of 1828 or 1836.

August 2003. Building Survey.
Survey undertaken prior to proposed demolition of structure.
The building is a two storey painted brick structure with horizontal skintlings and a pantile gabled roof, with a single storey brick and flint extension adjoining the north west elevation of the original construction. A further later single storey extension constructed of brick and flint is located at the rear of the building. The building was found to date from the nineteenth century, although the presence of an apparently seventeenth century mullioned window led to some confusion. It was concluded that the window may in fact be a nineteenth century copy.
The building was found to have changed use from a public house known as Cremorne Gardens to a residential property. The first licencee was recorded here in 1861. It appears that the building has served a residential function since 1910.
Very few of the original features were still present when the building survey was undertaken.
See report (S2) for further details. The results of this work are also summarised in (S3).
The associated archive has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2013.319).
