Seal of Approval


This frieze depicts Queen Victoria's jubilee and lists all the countries that Great Britain ruled over. It is situated over a bar on High Pavement in the Lace Market. I don't know what the building was first used as, but the moulding still looks very clean, considering it's been there for over a hundred years.

  1. Aha, I something is amiss! Singapore is absent in the frieze! It was a British colonial enclave until 1965. Some other countries missing are Malaysia, Brunei and Hong Kong.

    Have you visited The Strange Republic? Do recommend it if you've enjoyed it!

    I don't think we've got anything like that here in Norwich. I wonder if Queen Victoria ever visited Norfolk - since the Queen's favourite residence is here.

    The house is really yellow - but it's the way the light played on the wall. :)

    Thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo.
