496 Sprowston Road - The Brickmakers
Thanks to Charlie from The Brickmakers who tells us some of the history of the pub after I asked her if the building today is the original pub..
"It’s the original building yes. The single storey bit on the left was added in 1939. The original pub was built in the very late 1800s. I have some very old plans somewhere, will find them and upload them for you to have a look at some point. The mock Tudor wood was added sometime before the 90s, not sure when.
Lots of great bands and artists have played at the pub including Ed Sheeran who performed here in 2008 as part of the Next Big Thing semi finals.
