8. As the road through the city is both difficult, dark, and dangerous, we would propose opening and widening such parts as might render the whole airy and easy of access. To this end, the great entrance to the _Market place_, through _Brigs’s-lane_, should be opened; at least, the turn from the Rampant-horse-street, or Horse-market, should be rounded, by taking away the corners. From the _Market-place_ to the _Red Well_, the _Cockey-lane_ and _London-lane_ is so narrow and irregular, that frequent interruptions, and sometimes accidents, happen by carriages meeting. Persons on foot must squeeze themselves into a dark alley, or burst into a shop, to avoid being run over or crushed against the walls; whilst, in wet weather, you are drenched by torrents of water from the houses, or plunged into a gutter, knee deep. If the _Back of the Inns_ would admit of carriages, from the_ Hog-hill_ to _London-lane_, it would be a safer thorough-fare. The houses and stables on the west side are of little value, comparatively with the advantage; and the rents of good houses and shops on that side, would amply recompence the trouble and charge of rebuilding the street, at 25 or 30 feet width. But, the readiest passage from _St. Stephen’s_ to _Tombland_ would be made by opening the lane above the Bell Inn on Hog-hill, across the _Castle Ditches_, to the _Red Well_. The houses on the west side of the lane, by Gurney’s bank, are much in decay: their removal, therefore, would be attended with every advantage of profit and ornament. 9. Supposing the communication to the _Red Well_ opened, the area of waste ground, called the _Castle Meadow_, between the _Castle-hill_ and _King-street_, would admit of buildings, on three sides, to form a very spacious and handsome square. This should be continued from the new buildings behind Gurney’s Bank to the Griffin-yard, where a large opening into King-street is much wanted. From this, the east side will extend along the back of King-street, and the south side terminate at the Duke Tavern. Within this, a considerable space might be pallisaded, and laid out in shrubbery and pleasant walks: leaving a foot-pavement and carriage road on each side. As neat and convenient houses of 15, 18, and 20 pounds yearly rent are much wanted in Norwich, for genteel small families, we have no doubt but CASTLE-SQUARE would soon be inhabited by desirable tenants. Many other improvements might and would be made on the south-east side of the _Castle Ditches_, provided the above hints were adhered to. 10. It hath been proposed to inclose the _Upper Close_, in like manner as the Lower, but this, we understand, has not been done, on account of its being the _Play-ground_ of the _Grammar School_. The _Prebend’s Walk_ here is now become the fashionable MALL.
