North Walsham Conservation Area Character Appraisal and Management PlanFigure 18 : Black Swan Yard, as viewedalong the passage form Market Place.The passage leads to a small yard in front of the pub. The ground surface is a mixture offlint cobbles and fragments of concrete set in a “crazy paving” pattern. Adjoining this to theeast is a plain area of concrete with a barbecue-style table and benches set on it.A closer view of the front of the Black Swan confirms the initial impression that this is a finetraditional building, but within a very poor setting.The rear wings of the shops to the east can be considered a slight improvement. Here is anirregular group of one and two storey extensions; some are probably 19th century, othersare more recent. A few have flat roofs, the remainder are pitched and of slate.Figure 19 : The Black Swan.A narrow road curves around the east side of the Black Swan, and connects with the mainpart of Black Swan Loke. The rear wing of the Black Swan faces the road; it has a poorfacade. Opposite this is a large single storey building which serves as an additional bar forthe Black Swan. In front there is an area of concrete paving slabs with more picnic-styletables and benches.North Norfolk District Council27
