Full description

The Old Post Office, 6 Dereham Road.

May 1994. Building Survey.
Examined by E. Rose (NLA).
Small flint house, altered in 19th century, containing an ovolo mullioned window. Probably of early 17th century date, this may be the parlour end of a larger house now encased by Wensum House to the north, or else perhaps a three storey single cell building. Fireplace bressumer of about 1600 probably reused from elsewhere at a later date.
See report (S1) for full details in file.
