Row Forty Two map (Swinden)

Row forty-two, from George Street to Charlotte Street, was called Jew's Row, after the synagogue that had long been there.                            

At the north‑west corner of this row was an old house with a flint cut front facing George Street, which comprised two occupations in Palmer's time, nos. 43 and 44 George Street, which had the date 1592 in iron figures upon the front. 

 

At the south‑west corner there was a very old house, no.45, with a modern front, having on the ground floor, a room used as a shop, in which there was a moulded ceiling somewhat similar to that in the Nelson Room of the old Star Hotel where the telephone exchange is now.   

 

Johnson in his notes related- "The Jews synagogue was established in this row, and the building erected in 1847 used by Garson  Blake as a cement store. Attention is called to the fine flint‑fronted house No. 43 at  the  N.W. corner, bearing the date 1592. Charles H.Harrison the well known Broadland Artist lived here  for  many years (see row 33). One of the best moulded ceilings in Yarmouth may be seen at the boot maker's shop at the S.W.  corner. This shop was typical of many that existed in the town".*2   

 

This row was not mentioned in the 1936 survey.   

 

Row 42 row ran from 42 Howard Street North to 44 George Street. ‑ For map see row 41.
