[Picture: Book cover] MASON’S NORWICH GENERAL AND COMMERCIAL DIRECTORY & HANDBOOK, INCLUDING THE HAMLETS OF EARLHAM, EATON, HEIGHAM, HELLESDON, LAKENHAM, POCKTHORPE, THORPE, TROWSE, CARROW, AND BRACONDALE. * * * * * * * * * * ENTERED AT STATIONERS’ HALL. * * * * * * * * * * PRICE, TO SUBSCRIBERS, TWO SHILLINGS AND SIXPENCE, TO NON-SUBSCRIBERS, THREE SHILLINGS. * * * * * * * * * * LONDON: PUBLISHED BY THE PROPRIETOR, AND SOLD BY ALL BOOKSELLERS. 1852. * * * * * LONDON: ADLARD AND PALMER, PRINTERS, 35A, LUDGATE HILL. * * * * * THE immense utility of a DIRECTORY, in a city of such great importance as NORWICH, can only be fairly estimated by those who, having felt the need, have had occasion to regret the want, which the Publisher hopes this work will be found to supply. Every endeavour has been made to render the NORWICH DIRECTORY AND HANDBOOK as complete and perfect a work of reference as possible, without regard to expense; and it is hoped that, notwithstanding occasional and trivial errors,—some owing to the changes which are daily taking place, and others which will creep into all such books, in spite of the utmost diligence,—it will be received in a liberal spirit. The usefulness of this DIRECTORY AND HANDBOOK will doubtless be considerably extended in future editions. _London_, _April_, 1852. CONTENTS.
