A continuation of Mew's half row, this leads from Howard
Street to King Street. Johnson only refers to this with row
90.
In a house on the north
side*1 towards the
east end, there resided a
wretched old man, upwards
of seventy years old, named John Hannah, who here murdered his wife
in 1813, for which crime he was hanged
on the North Denes. This was the last public
execution which took place within the Borough.
The power of trying capital offenses being abolished by the municipal corporation
act 1835. After that all such
criminals were committed to Norwich Castle to be tried
by the Judges of assize. As no tenant could be
found who would occupy this property, it was pulled down, and a stable
erected on the site.
The house at
the south‑east corner of this row was purchased in 1804 of John William Tap, a first
Lieutenant in the Royal Artillery and ordnance store keeper, the only
son of Capt. William Tap, adjutant of
the East Norfolk Regiment of Militia,
who died in 1797. In this
and other rows might be seen a notice that a sedan chair was kept
for hire.
*3 On Armstrong's map this was called Harrison's Row.
