Great Yarmouth Row Houses

The Great Yarmouth Row House is a preserved merchant residence at South Quay featuring interconnected living spaces arranged in a tight urban layout. A narrow passageway links this property to three main streets of the town.

The house was built in the early 17th century as a typical merchant dwelling in a thriving port town. It survived the World War II bombing campaigns that destroyed most other similar buildings nearby.

The houses display decorative elements and finishes that reveal how merchants decorated their homes across different centuries. Walking through them, you notice how residents marked their spaces with personal touches and craftsmanship.

The property sits on South Quay where it is easy to locate and clearly marked for visitors. You can explore the interior at your own pace or join a guided tour to learn more.

The house contains original brick patterns and wall decorations that show the building techniques of local craftsmen from centuries past. These details are rare surviving examples of construction methods that were lost elsewhere.
