All Saints Green 23 to 25 Bond's extension [2430]
1938-05-29
Robert Herne Bond, who was born at Ludham, Norfolk, 1844,
commenced business in Essex, but moved to a shop in Ber
St in 1879. Over the years adjoining property was
gradually acquired, so that by 1939 the store extended
through to All Saints' Green and included a large arcade.
The last extension to be built before the outbreak of the
Second World War was on the site of 23-25 All Saints'
Green. Erected in 1938, it had but a brief existence
before succumbing to the flames. Its upper front had been
designed to harmonise with that of its neighbour, the
Thatched, being constructed with vertical timbers
alternating with red brickwork. A pleasing gable above a
large oriel window to the left and a small dormer in the
centre or the steeply pitched roof completed the illusion
of "medieval Norwich". |

Bethel St Hospital north front [4651] 1961-09-19
This is the building from which the street obtained its
name. Built in 1713, the Bethel is one of the oldest
mental hospitals in the country. Although no longer
housing inmates, it is still in use as a psychiatric
outpatients' department and so adheres to the
instructions carved on its foundation stone that it
"is not to be alienated or employ'd to any other use
or purpose whatsoever".
Its foundress was Mary Chapman, the widow of the Reverend
Samuel Chapman, rector of Thorpe St Andrew. Both of them
had relations afflicted with mental illness and it was no
doubt this, and the fact that many such sufferers –
particularly the poor and destitute – were treated
like rogues and vagabonds, that gave Mary and her husband
the idea of building such a refuge.
Much of the Queen Anne building remains. It is best seen
from the garden at the back, the Bethel St frontage being
a modern addition erected in 1899 during the chairmanship
of John Youngs, architect E.Boardman. |

Guildhall Hill Subscription Library [4368] 1955-08-24
Norfolk and Norwich Subscription Library, erected 1837,
architects Darkins and Blake.
In Dove St near its junction with Pottergate once stood
the premises of Daniel Hurn, ropemaker, where a massive
fire started on 1st August 1898. Spreading rapidly to the
adjoining warehouse of Chamberlin and Son, which it
quickly consumed, the blaze also gutted the Subscription
Library, resulting in the loss of most of its 60,000
volumes.
The Edinburgh public house standing at the corner of the
two streets managed, by some miracle, to escape the
inferno. Four days later, though, weakened by the loss of
adjoining premises, it suddenly fell with an enormous
crash, seriously injuring two or three people. Above its
doorway was a stone dated 1586 and inscribed S R M - the
initials of former owners Richard and Mary Scottow. The
cellars beneath, however - an upper and a lower one -
were believed to be those of a much earlier house,
probably of the 13c, once occupied by the city's
Elizabethan printer, Anthony Solempne.
After the fire the site was surrounded by an
advertisement hoarding. It remained vacant until a few
years ago when two or three new shops were built facing
Dove Street. |

the College of St Mary in the Fields. The College was
founded some time before 1250 and suppressed in 1545. The
site, after passing through several hands, came in 1609
to the Hobart family. A mansion known as Chapel Field
House had been built here, the east and west wings of
which were retained when in the mid-18c the remainder was
demolished and the present building erected. From 1877
until 1933 this was occupied by the Norwich High School
for Girls. After the second World War it was restored as
an Assembly House of Arts through the great generosity of
Mr H.J.Sexton. |
