Norfolk Buildings
Norfolk Buildings is a terrace of grade II listed houses at 73-91 Bristol Road, Gloucester, on the east side between Theresa Street and Alma Place.
The buildings were begun in 1836 to a design by the architect Thomas Fulljames in the Greek Revival style for the reverend Samuel Lysons of nearby Hempsted Court.[1] It was originally known as Theresa Place.[2] In 1829 they were described by the local writer George Worrall Counsel as "a very handsome row of elegant houses".[3] The north end of the terrace was the Norfolk House Hotel[4] but is now The Linden Tree pub under the management of Wadworth Brewery.[5] To the rear of the buildings is Alma Terrace.
Lysons also developed houses from 1854 in Theresa Street, originally known as Clarence Town, and Alma Place. Lysons Avenue is a short distance to the south.[1]
