Ber Street
[1] The lost tower from the south. [Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery 1951.235.1190.B52: F]

Introduction

The section of wall between Ber Street and the surviving wall at Carrow Hill was just over 140 metres long and had one intermediate tower. The tower was demolished in the middle of the 19th century but there are several drawings of the tower by Henry Ninham in the Castle Museum. [1] Parts of the wall itself survived in the main back walls of properties in Bracondale into the early 20th century. These houses were not investigated as part of this survey and some sections of the wall may survive within these houses.
