Restored historic hall to re-open

Dragon Hall was built more than 600 years ago

A medieval merchant house in Norwich is due to re-open next month after restoration work.

Dragon Hall in King Street dates back to the 15th Century and was built for the sale and display of cloth - a mainstay of the city's economy.

A state-of-the art glass extension was added to the historic hall as part of a £1.8m refurbishment project.

The Grade I listed building is one of the oldest in the East of England and was rediscovered in the 1960s.

The restoration work was carried out by the Norfolk and Norwich Heritage Trust.
