Mile Cross

About

Mile Cross is a residential area in the northwest of Norwich, bordered by the River Wensum and the A140 road. The ward features a mix of housing, including interwar council estates, terraced homes, and modern developments. Green spaces like Sloughbottom Park and Marston Marshes provide walking routes and recreational areas. The area has local shops, schools, and community facilities, serving its predominantly residential character.

Transport links include regular bus services to Norwich city centre, about two miles away. The ward has a strong sense of community, with events often held at the local library or community centre. Industrial units along the A140 add some employment opportunities, though many residents commute into the city. Mile Cross retains a quiet, suburban feel while remaining close to Norwich’s amenities.
