“On the north side there still
existed in 1928 a rarity in Yarmouth, i.e. a
half timbered house.
The houses on the
south side of Fullers Hill, now demolished with the terrace levelled, the seven houses approached by seven steps north and south and that at the
south‑east corner of this row are typical examples. These were
erected above boarding and warehouses”. (Johnson)
From Middlegate to Howard Street,
was formerly called the "Three Feathers
Row", from an
ancient Public House or Inn so
named afterwards in 1805, called the
"Coach and Horses". A small fragment of the old cut‑flint
front next to Middlegate Street
may still be traced. The Inn yard
long called the three feathers yard,
with some of the surrounding property
was, early in the 19th. century purchased by Samuel Larlham, a Hackneyman. At the north‑west corner there was a public house formerly called
"The Fountain", and
then "The Norfolk Tavern". South of this and
fronting Middlegate Street stood a Chapel lately erected by the Independents or Congregationalists, from a design by Mr.
Bottle. This building was in 1990
converted into offices for the council.
This is on the site
of a square red brick building erected in 1733 and removed
in 1869, which
was known as
the "New Meeting", in contradistinction to
a chapel in the same street further south which was thenceforth
called "The Old Meeting", and which was destroyed
by enemy action in
1944 and rebuilt thereafter, and
which is now used among other things as
a dance studio in 1991. (Phyllis Adams)
*2 Johnson didn't quite make sense
here, alluding to Fuller's Hill. I have straightened things out, hopefully as
intended.
