➢ Variant: edge inscription: ⹂RICHARD BACON COCKEY LANE”
➢ Cf.: DH# 12
When tradesmen began issuing tokens in the 17th century they used images that were easily identifiable as signs of their trade. The image of a hanging sheep or fleece was a symbol for traders in wool. There was a large market place at Norwich so the castle and fleece were natural images for a token. Cockey Lane was a lane in Norwich leading north from London Street. The present keep of the castle was built in 1120 and was used as a Royal Palace. From 1220-1887 it was used as a jail. Today it is a museum and art gallery.
