The CITY GAOL is at the end of St. Giles’ Street. It was completed in 1827, from a design by Mr. Philip Barnes, a native of Norwich, at a cost of £30,000. The front elevation is massive, and is supported by rusticated Tuscan columns. In the wings are niches with cross arrows. The building encloses an area of 1A. 2R. 34P., and contains 114 cells. The governor’s house stands in the centre, and commands a view of the entire prison, which is well ventilated, and supplied with water pumped by the tread wheel. The NORFOLK AND NORWICH HOSPITAL, founded in 1771, for the relief of the sick and maimed poor, is an extensive brick structure, situated without St. Stephen’s Gates. It deservedly ranks as the most useful institution in the county, and is supported by donations, legacies, and voluntary subscriptions, and also by a large proportion of the proceeds of the Norwich Musical Festival. Since its foundation, it has admitted about 45,000 in-door, and 35,000 out-door patients. Three physicians and four surgeons regularly attend gratuitously. The Hospital contains 144 beds for the reception of patients. ST. GILES’ HOSPITAL, commonly called the Old Men’s Hospital, is situated in the parish of St. Helen. It was founded as early as 1249, by Bishop Walter de Suffield, for maintaining four chaplains to pray for his soul; and also to be an asylum for the aged, decrepid and infirm clergy of the diocese of Norwich, and to support 13 old people, who were to have their lodging, and one meal a day for life. It subsequently received considerable augmentations, and can now accommodate 200 persons. The CAVALRY BARRACKS are situated in Barrack Street, in the Hamlet of Pockthorpe, on the site of the Old Manor House of that hamlet. They were erected by the Government in 1791, at an expense of £20,000. The buildings are of brick, and form three sides, the centre being for the accommodation of the officers; upon the upper part of this are the national arms sculptured in stone, and surrounded by military trophies. The wings are appropriated to the reception of the soldiers, and are capable of containing 320 men and 266 horses. The high wall which surrounds the entire barracks (including the spacious parade ground) encloses an extent of about ten acres. The DUNGEON TOWER is opposite the Cavalry Barracks, upon land called the Hospital Meadows. It is a large round tower of brick, originally surmounted by a battlement. The INSTITUTION FOR THE INDIGENT BLIND is situated in Magdalen Street. The establishment is devoted to two objects—a hospital for the aged blind, and a school for the instruction of blind children, who are taught the manufacture of baskets, mats, and other articles, by which they may obtain a livelihood. These may be purchased in a shop adjoining the institution.
