A public meeting of hand-loom weavers was held here Wednesday, 9th December 1863.
"Remember! this is your last struggle between starvation with work, and starvation without it. (For the last eight months work has been very slow in Norwich, and hundreds of weavers have been out of employ; but the spring trade is now commencing, and for the next three months there is the probability of plenty of work.) "
At the meeting it was said that weavers would not work for less than 15s a week and would rather go to the workhouse. Hardly any weavers currently employed earned 10s a week. Many men could not earn more than 2d per hour. One woman said that by working sixteen hours per day, she could earn 6s a week.

In February 1870, Mr. Gilbert of London Street exhibited a collection of paintings by "Old Crome" (John Crome 1768 - 1821) Amongst those on display:- "The Bath House, St. Martin at Oak" 1818 or 1819. Those who remember the old spot will at once attend its genuineness; the old bath house, with its reed fence, the solitary birch and tenderly painted willows, the quaint old gables of the cottages, so true in colour, show what simple materials may be made available by the pencil of the true artist."
