Research your home in Norwich

Published sources

Directories, published intermittently for Norfolk from the early 19th century, include the addresses of many private residents and tradesmen. They are selective, but they can help to identify a street in records which do not name them and are also useful to identify when streets were being built . Once you have this information you can then check the relevant dates in the building control plans.

Collections of these publications can be found in the Norfolk Record Office search room library and at the Norfolk Heritage Centre (NHC) in the Millennium Library.

You can find Special Collections Online on the University of Leister website.

The Norfolk Public Houses website has an excellent section on Norwich pubs.
