More about this scene
This is the most central town in Norfolk. This view shows the varied façades of the buildings fronting the market place. The building next to the King's Arms Hotel on the right is a good example. Many of these ornate frontages were added by the Victorians especially to banks and hotels to give an improved image to customers. The Great Eastern Railway office (left) opened onto the market place near to the parcel receiving office. In the 16th century the town suffered two great fires, and the market place was greatly reduced in size following the rebuilding.
