Looking towards the town centre from near the corner of Nuns' Bridges Road during a cloudy spell on a fine day in early March.

Gothic House, number 22 Old Market Street, is a late 19th century house now converted into flats. Built in flint with gault brick dressings. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1293329 Once the ancient capital of East Anglia, Thetford is a market town established at a crossing of the River Little Ouse. A major centre of Boudica’s Iceni tribe with an Iron Age fort. Later came a Norman castle and an important priory. Thetford is the birthplace of 18th century radical Thomas Paine, whose thinking encouraged American independence and the abolition of slavery. After World War II, Thetford became an "overspill town", taking people from London.

This quiet street makes a charming loop (and one-way system) with Old Market Street between the castle site and the rivers.
