Notes
The house measures 63 feet deep and has a 62 foot frontage, whilst the overall site measures 192 by 172 feet at its widest points. The Starling Day & Son bank, founded by the grandfather of Thomas Starling Day, is shown very roughly in pencil. The bank was bailed out in 1825 by Gurney & Co. Day served as Mayor of Norwich in 1825, following his father (1808) and grandfather (1782 and 1812). 101-105 Pottergate were severely damaged in April 1942 and subsequently demolished.
