Botolph St 30 to 34 Chamberlin's factory [5142] 1967-05-16
Perhaps chief among the businesses affected by the demise of Botolph St when Anglia Square was built, was that of Roberts the Printers at Nos 30-34. First established on a different site in 1902, the firm had since 1949 been occupying what Dr Nikolaus Pevsner described as "the most interesting factory building in Norwich" built in 1903 as a clothing factory for Chamberlins. "There was", he added, "little in England, and indeed in Europe, quite so functional and unfussy then. Yet it is by no means purely utilitarian."
Its architect was A.F.Scott, the 19c founder of the firm bearing his name. He was also responsible for a more prominent building in the city, Buntings the drapers (now Marks and Spencers) at the corner of St Stephen's and Rampant Horse St.
