Specification

Historically the area immediately behind Wells quay consisted of a series of narrow lanes or 'yards’ connecting large cargo sheds, often used as maltings. The Barkers Yard development has been designed and specified in conjunction with North Norfolk District Council's Conservation Architect with the sole purpose of creating a 'landmark' entrance to this unique coastal town.

Materials have been carefully selected: contrasting bricks, from The Traditional Brick Company, weathered-style red and blue Norfolk pan-tiles, slate to some roofs and some Douglas Fir cladding. Selected homes will be coated with Keim Royalan paint. This is an extremely hard-wearing mineral silicate used successfully in various coastal locations in recent years and is in perfect harmony with the existing street scene.
