IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Earlham Road, NORWICH, NR2 3RU

As seen from the footbridge over the ring road (A147) at Grapes Hill.

A new development of retirement flats opposite the Roman Catholic cathedral, taken from the footbridge over the ring road.

It links Earlham/Unthank roads with St Giles' Street on the other side.

The building dates from 2006/7 and provides retirement housing; it contains 54 flats. Part of it stands on the site of the Grapes Hotel the Grapes Hotel, which was originally a late Georgian house that had undergone various alterations at different times. During the Baedeker raids of 28/29 April 1942, its upper floors were gutted, but the ground floor was saved and continued in use until a few years after the war, when a new building was constructed on the site, which in turn was replaced in 2006 by yet another.

Note the small lead parish marker plate to the right of the first floor balcony > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5829937. It was transferred from the old house and dates from 1811.

This plate was reset to its present location from a property in the vicinity which was demolished to make way for the ring road, and dates from 1811. The letters 'H' and 'B' stand for the parish of Heigham St Bartholomew and the crossed knives below the letters are the symbol of Saint Bartholomew who was flayed alive. The plate is unique in that it is the only one of its kind marking a parish outside the city walls. See > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5829939 for a wider view of this location.
