The impressive building over three floors on the site of the former Harrods of the town, Jermyn & Sons, is available to rent for a price on application. The owners are, however, prepared to divide it up to new tenants.

The 36-year-old multi-millionaire Irish grandson of bookmaker legend Barney Eastwood owns the building currently occupied by Debenhams in Norwich.
Businessman Bernard Joseph Eastwood, from Holywood, County Down, bought the Orford Place building in 2005 for more than £20million.

But now, with Debenhams being snapped up by online retailer Boohoo who have no plans to keep brick and mortar outlets, the future of this building and others in the region is uncertain.
