🏠 Pockthorpe

Pockthorpe was a hamlet, extramural suburb, and by the 19th century a slum of the city of Norwich, in Norfolk, England, located between the River Wensum and Mousehold Heath. It was a frequent site of protest to which it lay claim from 1844 under the Pockthorpe Committee until the city took ownership of the heath in 1880. It was subject to slum clearance in the 1930s.
