Vanta e Hous in Fishers Lane
In July this year Vantage House had already lost the 'e' > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5829620 and now the 'g' has also fallen off its name sign. This former office block which has been converted into flats is situated on Fishers Lane, which links St Giles Street and Pottergate. The church tower seen in the background is that of St Laurence on St Benedicts Street.
Update June 2020: Vantage Developments Ltd is seeking approval to convert Vantage House from an office block into 44 apartments.

Fishers Lane - R Roberts Ltd (closed)
R Roberts (Norwich) Ltd was a shoe factory established in 1926 on this site. For another view, taken from Pottergate, see > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6247705. The firm specialised in children's shows and one of their main lines was the "Doggy Toe" range which had a semi-circular rubber plate with a pattern of small spirals on its sole, resembling a dog's paw, which had been designed to give a better grip. During WW2 they shared Start-rite's Crome Road factory and in 1974 Start-rite purchased all the firm's issued share capital. When Start-rite's Sonnet factory in Duke Street was closed, production was transferred to Fishers Lane and when the Roberts' factory there was closed in 1981, its 100 workers transferred to Start-rite.
