About

Magdalen ward covers the central and northern section of Great Yarmouth's town centre, characterised by a dense grid of residential streets. The area includes the historic market place and the main shopping thoroughfares. Housing is predominantly Victorian and Edwardian terraces, with some later infill. The ward is bounded by the River Yare to the south and North Denes to the east.

A notable landmark is the town's Victorian Town Hall, situated within the ward. The area functions as the primary commercial and civic heart of the borough. Residential life here is closely integrated with the central business functions, with local amenities and services readily accessible to inhabitants. The street pattern and building fabric reflect the town's development during its peak as a fishing and seaside resort.
