North-West (inner) : Heigham

Division 6 : Area 1

Old Palace Road : group 6

. . . 6 pubs in this group . . . 1 still serving.

 Meaning of symbols

This main road has surprisingly few pubs on, or just off, it;
but admirably serves the purpose of splitting the
Midland and Adelaide areas (Groups 5 and 7).

After its sharp turn (left when coming from Dereham Road),
Old Palace Road is absorbed into Group 9 : Dolphin (& Upper Heigham).

Listing
The pubs are listed going North along Old Palace Road,
