North Walsham Conservation Area Character Appraisal and Management PlanThe surroundings of the Conservation Area on the south and west sides generally providea more sympathetic and near-rural backdrop. After the busy A149 road, the Victorian housesset amongst trees and well kept gardens on the south side of the Norwich Road create abrief, but inviting entranceway to the town. Similarly, at the south end of the Aylsham Road,the few houses left outside the Conservation Area are good examples of inter-war Arts &Crafts housing, with thatched roofs. In the background, a road bridge and railway bridgesurrounded by trees provide a reasonable view, save for an accumulation of road signsnearby.Figure 5 : The south end of the Aylsham Road, with some attractive inter-war Vernacular Revival houses.On the west side, there is little to distinguish the houses inside the Conservation Area fromthose immediately outside it. Some good mid to late Victorian houses are set just outsidethe Conservation Area along the Cromer Road, together with a large chapel. Thepredominantly 19th century architecture then merges with suburban-style inter-war housesand greenery set further out of the town.Figure 6 : A good approach to the town along theCromer Road.12North Norfolk District Council
North Walsham Conservation Area Character Appraisal and Management PlanUnfortunately, the Mundesley Road fails to maintain the standard. Even within theConservation Area, there is an untidy mix of run down Victorian properties, inappropriateshopfronts and plain modern housing. Leaving the Conservation Area, small groups ofattractive Victorian houses rub shoulders with a car park, unremarkable modern houses anda bleak-looking housing estate.North Norfolk District Council13
