Thorpe Hamlet & Mousehold South

Thorpe Hamlet and Mousehold South form a residential district on the eastern edge of Norwich city centre. The area is defined by the open heathland and woodland of Mousehold Heath to the north and the River Yare to the south, creating a distinct green border. Streets of Victorian terraces and some post-war housing are set on gentle slopes, with the main traffic artery of Plumstead Road running through.

A notable local landmark is the former Bishop Bridge waterworks, a red-brick industrial building now converted into apartments, overlooking the river. The area offers direct pedestrian access to the expansive heath, a historic common with panoramic views back across the city's rooftops and cathedral spire.
