Used to be Prospect House pub from 1939-1992. Photograph courtesy of Ken Chapman - taken c. 1984The pub entrance was hidden on the reverse of this elevation.
Despite the (post-WWII?) single-storey extension at the front,
the proportion of landlord accommodation - to public areas - seems to
have been very high. Note the private side-door and garden to the right.

In 2019 this old shop was empty and the last tenants removed the shop sign so it is now showing a very old sign of when it was a Chemists called Bingham. I think it was a chemist from during the 60's and 70's.. Annette tells me she worked there from 1970 - 1972. Later in 1987 it was a printer and photocopier shop called Copier Products Limited (Norwich) In 1995 it was Radiophone
