What is recorded here
This grey commemorative plaque records: Paper Mill Yard formed a small part of the Carrow Works factory development, established by Colmans in the 19th century. The name comes from the paper mill, which was found at this part of the site between 1884 and 1900. The buildings on the site not only produced the mustard for which the Colmans brand is so famous - flour, cereals, starch, sauces, baby food and laundry blue were all manufactured here. Recorded plaque organisation: Norwich Heritage Economic and Regeneration Trust.
Carrow Works, established by Colman's in the 19th century, was a significant industrial complex that produced not only renowned mustard but also various other food products and household items, reflecting the expansive manufacturing capabilities of the era.
