Houses on the northern edge of Aylsham can be seen in the background.

This kissing gate stands at the start of a public footpath which turns off the Weavers Way long distance footpath and leads to Aylsham.

On Gashouse Hill - a Wesleyan chapel built in 1868. Established over 150 years ago as 'Aylsham Tabernacle' the ACC (Aylsham Community Church) was part of the circuit of Wesleyan Reform Union churches; in the 1980s the church joined with Newfrontiers. The building has since been converted into a private dwelling house.

This bridge spanning the Weavers Way long distance footpath carries Cromer Road over it. See also > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1290696. The path here follows a dismantled railway line which was operated by the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway line, linking the Midlands with the Norfolk Coast. Opened by the Eastern and Midlands Railway, it became the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway, and was later converted to a joint operation of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, with the London and North Eastern Railway taking sole operation in 1936. The line was closed in 1959.

Numbers 3 and 5, Millgate - a pair of early 19th century cottages. Flint pebbles were used for the frontage and for creating a decorative centre panel depicting a curving swastika design. Not having experienced any disastrous 17th or 18th century fires, the medieval street pattern and many or the houses in the historical core of Aylsham have survived and there are 240 listed buildings here (accounting for 20% of all listed buildings in the district of Broadland). The Millgate area to the northeast of the town, however, was developed during the late 18th century, when the completion of the Bure navigation canal (Aylsham Navigation) brought further wealth to the town. One of the important features of Aylsham houses (and buildings in surrounding parishes) is the use of bricks for building, influenced by the nearby Blickling Hall. The development of Flemish bond brickwork and Dutch shaped gables influenced builders in the area and a cluster of early to mid 17th century brick buildings can be found within a five mile radius around Blickling, in an area where flint was the commonly used building material.
