Full Description
Site of Nos 56 and 58 Chapelfield Road. Demolished as part of road improvement works.
May 1968. Building Survey.
Surveys of Nos 56 and 58 Chapelfield Road, probably undertaken as part of work by University of East Anglia (UEA).
No 56 was a brick building incorporating the flint remains of the city wall as its back wall. Pantile roof. Upstairs backrooms over city wall.
No 58 was also a brick building with pantile roof, incorporating and partially built over the remains of the city wall.
Access was only gained to the interior of No 56.
See reports (S1) and (S2) for further details and copies of photographs.
No date is given for these buildings. Hochstetter's 1789 map of Norwich does however show that the western side of what is now Chapelfield Park remained underdeveloped at the end of the 18th century, so these houses must date to the 19th century.
