At the southern end of the garden, these can be walked up where a path continues at a higher level. Like all other walls in the garden, the walls of the terraces contain examples of Cosseyware > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5807852. From the 1830s to 1915, George Gunton and from 1868 onwards his sons William and George, made a range of ornamental bricks which they called Cosseyware, at their brickyard in Costessey (pronounced Cossey). Among a number of brickyards in the area, the Guntons' perhaps had the greatest effect on Norwich housebuilding in that two of Norwich's foremost architects, Edward Boardman and George Skipper, both used Cosseyware in their buildings.
