About

Sewell ward sits in the north of Norwich, a largely residential area centred around the Anglia Square shopping precinct. The ward contains several notable local institutions, including the Sewell Park Academy and the former Bullards Anchor Brewery site, which is a focus for redevelopment plans. Housing is a mix of Victorian terraces and more modern social housing estates, with the inner section being more densely populated.

The ward is defined by the Wensum River forming its southern boundary, with the medieval Bishop Bridge marking a historic entrance to the city centre. A network of smaller waterways, like the Mile Cross Beck, also runs through the area. It is home to the distinctive Art Deco-style former Jarrolds printing works, a prominent local landmark now converted for other uses, reflecting the area's industrial past.
