Dolphin Inn, Norwich
Currently under conversion to a Chiropractic Centre, it was until recently the Dolphin Inn. The plaque outside states :
"Formerly the palace of Bishop Joseph Hall 1574 - 1656
Bishop of Norwich from 1644 until 1647 when he was forced to retire when his cathedral had been pillaged and desecrated"
It was however originally the residence of Richard Browne, a Sheriff of Norwich whose initials and arms can be found over the doorway with the date 1587.

300 Heigham Street - Gibraltar Gardens public house
This Grade 2 listed house - it combines three buildings in one: the southern end dates from 1475; the old cottage end near the river is from 1550, and the middle part which houses the main bar is from 1590 - was originally the home of a Flemish weaver. It is said to have later been used for storing Bishop Joseph Hall's wine (he lived just down the road > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5842294 ). In the early 1700s it became an ale house. The first recorded licensee was John Cotton, a worsted weaver, from 1760 to 1764.
August 2019: The pub briefly closed last autumn, but has been reopened as the Britannia Gardens, run by Britannia Enterprises.
