Going by the sign, looks like it's going to be demolished. Hopefully I'm wrong, as it's a fine building and could surely be re-used? :mad:
The building goes back one heck of a long way, and it looks like parts of the rear are still occupied with Offices or something.
Couldn't find a scrap of History on Google, but found this old pic, dated 1901

Hi Lb
Seeing the signs advertising apartments, I was wondering if it referred to that building, so I checked out Hardwick House on google. There's an ad on this link for the apartments for sale. I could be wrong but it looks like the same building. I hope so, cause that's rather nice and would be such a shame if it was due for demolition.

Really like the twiddly bits on the pediment (Is that the right word for the triangular bit?).

Cheers for that
Foxy :)
 
Thanks for the extra info Foxy :)
Looking again at those signs, you could be right. Not sure why there's a demolition company sign on the fence. Perhaps they're doing some internal demo, and the outside will remain.

The Old Guildhall was used by Anglia as a studio, is it still owned by them?

When Jerry Springer was over here a few years back he rented some studio space in Norwich before finding out how far it was from where he was staying in the West End.....
 
Looks quite grand, those railings look a bit vicious though, I hope it is converted not demolished. well spoted LB one to keep an eye out for:)
