The builders are starting to repair some of the walls in the earlier part of the building, which had been rendered with lime plaster this week. As work was carried out on a wall which was in the small room where the old forge display once stood, a bricked up arch was revealed. At this stage it is hard to tell whether this was a window, or a wall, but there is no evidence of either on the exterior wall (opposite St Andrews Church).  The room was used as a log store in the 1700s, so possibly this was a way of getting large logs into the building. Archaeologists will be on site next week to make an assessment of its date and function.

In another development, we have been in talks with Norwich-based graffiti artist Tony Allen from Stickyfingerz who is very keen to paint a mural on the hoardings covering the building at the moment. Tony is part of a project which encourages artists to paint in areas where they have been given consent. They are looking at making the designs of the murals reflect the businesses on the alleyway – watch this space!
