Description

Unique to Great Yarmouth, the Rows were a network of 145 very narrow streets which ran parallel to each other and grew out of the fact that, until the 19th century, building was only permitted within the medieval town walls. Kitty Witches was the city's narrowest Row, being just 27 inches in places, and it ran between King Street and Middlegate Street. After 1804 each Row was given a number to make identification easier and Kitty Witches was renamed Row 95. The area has since been redeveloped and many of the buildings demolished.
