... that the Museum of Norwich at the Bridewell operated as a residence, a house of correction, a factory and finally a museum? Source: "It was the home of a distinguished city family, the Appleyards." "In 1584 the property was purchased by the corporation and converted into the city’s Bridewell, or house of correction." "The building was sold in 1828 when a new prison was constructed at St Giles Gate, and the property became a factory. In 1923 the building was purchased by Sir Henry Holmes and donated to the city as a museum." [1]
Overall: Article is short and sweet. QPQ not required as this seems to be your second DYK nom. The hook is alright, so passing as is, but you could consider ALTs based on the fire or the crowdfunding campaign. IceWelder [✉] 21:18, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
