Thorpe Lodge
Thorpe Lodge dates from between 1755 and 1842, but some think that it looks earlier. When the Broadland District Council offices were built adjacent to it in 1974, there were reports of underground passages in the vicinity, which may be tunnels under the road leading to the staithe on the other side, or to chalk workings. The Grade 2 listed building is currently occupied by offices of the Broadland District Council.

Broadland District Council Emergency Centre
Government emergency centres are frequently referred to as War Headquarters and were constructed specifically for government executives to retreat to in the event of a nuclear fall-out during the Cold War era. It is situated adjacent to the council offices, at the end of the council staff car park.
