Arts and Crafts Style Pubs: The Norwich Four

Gothic was just one influence on the eclectic Arts and Crafts Movement that followed Morris and it comes as a surprise to see its romantic view of Victorian architecture still being used for designing Norwich pubs in the 1930s. Four can be considered as a group, their conical roofs reminiscent of French castles of the Middle Ages.

Bishop Bridge

Bishop Bridge: Introduction

This site was the lowest bridging point on the river Wensum/Yare which meant that anyone on the south side of the Yare/Wensum valley in medieval Norwich who wanted to cross to the north and did not have a boat, would have to come inland 20 miles before they found a suitable place to cross.
