December 1980. Building Survey.
Examined as part of Norwich Survey.
Three-storey block, one room deep. There is clear evidence that the top floor is an addition of c. 1800, the original roof of the two-storey block being clearly visible at both gable end stacks. Interiors gutted and boxed though the ground floor of No 26 has a major ceiling timber with knicked end stops front and back. The block appears to be made of flint rubble. The original roof appears to have had single purlins and straight collars.
