About

Earlham Road functions as one of Norwich’s main westbound routes, running from the city toward Earlham and the University of East Anglia. The street contains a long parade of shops, takeaways, pubs and small businesses serving residents and students, with frequent bus services and cycle provision along the route. Housing ranges from Victorian terraces to later infill and purpose-built student blocks, so daily life here mixes long-term households with short-term lets and campus traffic.

College Road sits off Earlham Road and links the residential streets around Earlham Park and Earlham Hall, the latter set within mature grounds close to the campus. Local amenities include independent grocers, convenience stores and a handful of community spaces that host street-level activity. Movement through the area is shaped by commuting flows to the university and the city, plus short pedestrian routes into pockets of green space that break up the built streetscape.
