Visited by E. Rose (NAU):
Grey brick early Georgian houses, in poor condition.
Application for demolition March 1976 - recommended for surveying by NARG.
Pevsner (S1) talks about Welwick House of 1690 standing in All Saints' Street between Union Street and Church Lane 'with facade lying back from latter'. Presumably he meant lying back from All Saints' Street, and this was one of the buildings to the west now demolished. See NHER 12081 for this.
Compiled by E. Rose (NAU), 7 April 1976. Information from record card (S2).

See (S3) and (S4) in file.
Permission to demolish was refused.

These two properties were Listed at Grade II in 1972. According to (S5) they were purchased in 1977 along with adjoining No. 1 All Saints' Street (now NHER 62826) by the King's Lynn Preservation Trust, which oversaw their complete restoration.
Pevsner (S6) notes that these two properties were converted to flats in 1978.
