Black Boy Yard

Black Boy, Colegate , Norwich. George Plunkett’s photo reproduced by kind permission of J Plunkett

The Yard at 32 Colegate was named after the Black Boy Pub which is recorded as being here as early as 1760. In 1845 the Yard housed a school for 65 girls. Although it was damaged during bombing in 1942 the pub reopened for business in 1953.

In the 1980s it was reinvented as the Merchants of Colegate.
