Norwich's rich heritage is to be given extra protection after more than 100 buildings, including pubs and schools, were added to a list of precious properties to be safeguarded.

Churches, houses, libraries, factories, bridges and even Norfolk County Council's County Hall have been locally listed by Norwich City Council.

The buildings have been added to the list after three years of work by civic watchdog the Norwich Society.

Volunteers drew up a list of buildings and landmarks around Norwich in an attempt to prevent a repeat of the fate which befell the Earl of Leicester pub.

To the dismay of many, the pub, in Dereham Road, was knocked down in 2005 to make way for flats, despite a last-ditch effort to get it listed by English Heritage. The flats have yet to be built.

The society, which in the 1930s helped prevent the city council from pulling down historic buildings in Elm Hill, joined forces with officers from City Hall to get locally listed other sites considered worthy of safeguarding.

The buildings were rated according to their condition, historic value, architectural value, value to the community and physical presence.

While being on the list is not binding when it comes to applications for planning permission and does not carry the same weight as an English Heritage listing, it does mean members of a planning committee would need to take the status into account when making decisions.

As City Hall officers state: 'Placing a building on the local list does not give a building any additional legal protection, but it does mean that the heritage value of a locally identified heritage asset is a material consideration in determining planning applications.'

A number of pubs and former pubs feature on the list, including The West End Retreat in Browne Street; the Trafford Arms in Grove Road; Ketts Tavern on Ketts Hill; the Belle Vue in St Phillip's Road; the Artichoke in Magdalen Road; the Mad Moose in Warwick Street and the Unthank Arms in Newmarket Street.

Schools on the list include Magdalen Gates School in Bull Close Road; Colman Infant School in Colman Road; Avenue Road School in Milford Road; Wensum Junior School in Turner Road and the Hewett School in Cecil Road.

Parts of Norwich Prison, in Knox Road, dating back to 1885-1890 are included, as is County Hall, the headquarters of Norfolk County Council, in Martineau Lane and Zak's restaurant on Mousehold Heath.

Vicky Manthorpe, administrator for the Norwich Society (pictured left), said: 'I am absolutely delighted that the list has been adopted. I hope it means that we have got a good basis for discussions over the future of those buildings.

'We do not want to see another situation like happened with the Earl Of Leicester pub. And this now means we should be able to add to the list when other properties come to our attention.'
