Before the construction of Banyard's Place, off the High Street, East Dereham, the site was known as Banyard's Yard. In the early 19th century it led down to property in Orchard Lane, now Commercial Road, on which stood a windmill where John Banyard is given as miller and baker in the 1815 East Dereham Enclosure Claim. On the above map the mill is shown as a post mill on land on which the house 'Glendower' was later built. Harry Apling - c.1982 |
