ROW ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY ONE ‑ CAPT.
CHRISTMAS' ROW[1]
Captain Christmas' Row
Huke the Carpenter's Row, 1829
Woolsey's Row
(Johnson)
Row One Hundred and Twenty One map
From
Middlegate to King Street:
For
H.B.J., old directories made interesting reading, and Pigot's National Commercial Directory vol.3, Yarmouth records
the following‑ "Carpenter, James Huke, Huke's Row".
"Remembering that all our rows were numbered in 1804, this entry some 26
years later, together with hundreds of others proved to him that tradesmen's
names to rows were more popular than numbers". In Oct 1904, Mr.G.E.Woolsey
applied to have the row concreted, and in February 1905 successfully petitioned
for a post to be erected to prohibit vehicular traffic through the row. The
entrance at the east end is but seven foot high. There was an overhanging house
on the north side, and some prettily dentalled doorways here. *2
From
Middlegate to King Street, this row was called Captain Christmas' Row. At the
north‑west corner of this row facing Middlegate Street, was in Palmer's time, an old house bearing the date
1601 in iron letters.
