Introduction

This publication has been produced as a follow-on to a talk given for Heritage Open Days in 2018 on the subject of “Signs of past times”.

It contains a directory of : • Plaques on buildings • Street name explanatory signs • Parish boundary markers • External memorials with a separate section on external war memorials.

The directory does not include : • Pavement plaques • Memorials inside buildings

Please let the Norwich Society know if you think that there are items which should have been included in the directory, but have been overlooked.

Further reading

The following publications provide further information about plaques, and the stories and people associated with them. They may be found in local bookshops and libraries: the Norfolk Heritage Centre on the second floor of the Norfolk and Norwich Millennium Library in the Forum has a particularly comprehensive collection.

• Beating the bounds of Norwich, David A. Berwick, 2007 Gives details of the parish boundary markers and how they came to be erected. • Stories behind the plaques of Norwich, Gerald Solomons, Capricorn Books, 1981 Covers the green plaques erected by the City Council. • The blue plaques of Norwich, Nick Williams, Norwich HEART, 2010 Covers the blue plaques erected by HEART. • The Norwich Plaque Guide, Michael Chandler, The History Press, 2014 Covers both of the above, and also appears to include pavement plaques, but doesn’t make it clear whether plaques are located on buildings or on the ground.

The 101 green plaques : where are they now?

As mentioned above, Gerald Solomons’ book was about the 101 green plaques funded by Mr Garfield Williams and erected by Norwich City Council . The Norwich Society has a copy of a leaflet produced by the City Council showing the location and content of those plaques, and this has allowed an audit to be carried out of their current condition.

Three plaques were excluded from the audit : one because it was outside the city boundary, one because it was inside a building, and the third because it was in a private court.

Of the remaining 98: • 73 remain in position and are recorded in the directory in this publication: as can be seen from the photographs some are in very poor condition and most have faded considerably • 9 have been replaced by blue plaques erected by HEART (recorded in the directory) • 3 have been replaced by other plaques (recorded in the directory) • 13 are no longer visible, as shown in the table on the following page
