As noted in (S1) there is a three-dimensional bas relief panel on the outside wall of the Coachmaker's Arms that depicts the St Stephen's Gates. This was made by the well-known Norwich artist John Moray-Smith in 1937 and was one of a series of commissions for Morgans Brewery. The depiction of the gates is based on an illustration by Henry Ninham and depicts them as they appeared at the time of Charles II. It was restored by the Norwich Society in 2013.
See (S2) for further information on this and Moray-Smith's other works in Norwich and beyond.
