Notes
The three-storey, four-bay property is (internally) 39 feet 4 inches wide by 19 feet 9 inches deep and there is a brush maker's shop on one side and a hairdresser on the other that could be made available. The hinterland consists of stabling and yards. The arcaded ground floor front has five windows and two doors and there is an opening for a hoist on the top floor. The owner of the building was John Harrison Yallop (1762-1835), a goldsmith who was elected an Alderman in 1809 and Lord Mayor of Norwich in 1815 and 1831. His offer was not taken up by the Bank of England who instead chose a property in Queen Street (q.v.).
