Norwich Streets 'D'

[ Davey Place: 1 to 7, 10 to 14, 18 (19c. cast iron and glass shop) ] [ Dereham Road: 2, 5 to 7 ]

Davey Place was built as a pedestrian thoroughfare in 1813. Alderman Jonathan Davey was responsible, causing some concern, initially, when he announced that he intended putting a hole in the King’s Head. In fact this was the name of a public house which was demolished to give access from the Market Place.
