The Norman defences with the industrial past then the city living, flat building 21st Century

The Wilderness is an area north of Carrow Hill and which used to be a pleasure garden in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is now a protected woodland designated a publicly accessible recrational open space.

This building formed part of the Carrow Works owned by the Colman family of mustard fame and is situated in Paper Mill Yard where all the old industrial buildings have since been converted into flats. Jeremiah Colman had started his mustard and flour business in 1814 at Stoke Holy Cross. It was his great-nephew Jeremiah James Colman who in 1850 bought land from Norfolk Railway at Carrow, and in 1858 brought the company to Carrow and established the Carrow Works which by 1869 had 1100 employees. Colman’s won a special place in the heart of workers in the city, because the company looked after its employees, who enjoyed better conditions than in many other city factories.
