Part 8

By a late regulation, the children of St. John’s workhouse are employed in rooms fitted up for them in Colegate-street; in street also, the children of St. Andrew’s workhouse are employed in spinning yarn. About 250 poor children are hereby enabled to contribute towards their own maintenance,—their health and morals improved, and the public much benefited!

In the present century the manufacture is increased as from four to twelve.

During the last war, Norwich supplied the army and navy with four thousand recruits; but her manufactures did not suffer in the least; for they carried on more trade than ever. The truly industrious do not inlist; and as to the idle, the greatest favour to be done to any place is to sweep them all away.

They are in this city curious in building with flint: they cut it in regular squares, and form as neat joints as with the best bricks. The Bridewell is thus built, and so well executed, that it is worth a traveller’s notice.

The husbandry near Norwich is generally good. About Earlham farms rise from 50l. to 200l. a year: the soil a loamy sand, with both marle and chalk under it; lets from 14s. to 20s. an acre; average 16s.
