Blue plaque, Wrights Court, on Elm Hill, Norwich.
The plaque reads -
"The only remaining example of a residential
court leading off Elm Hill, and one of only a
handful to survive in Norwich. These courts or yards
were a common form of habitation for working
people in the City from medieval times until the
1920s, but many were demolished during slum
clearance. Several families lived in each house,
sharing one pump and a privy in the yard."
