About Fencing in Holt
Holt in Norfolk owes its distinctive Georgian character to disaster rather than design, after a devastating fire broke out at Shirehall Plain on 1 May 1708 and tore through the timber built medieval town in a matter of hours, causing damage estimated at around £11,000, an enormous sum at the time. Contemporary reports describe the fire spreading so quickly that butchers could not even rescue meat from their market stalls before the flames reached them. Rebuilding began the following year, supported by a royal brief that allowed fundraising for the town across the whole of England, and the reconstruction, which continued through the 1720s and into the 1730s, was carried out in the Georgian style of the day, with wider streets deliberately laid out to reduce the risk of fire spreading so disastrously again. The result is the near perfect Georgian market town that visitors see in Holt today. Our directory lists fencing suppliers and installers covering the NR25 postcode area.
