About

Town Close sits just south of Norwich's historic core, bordered by the outer ring road and residential streets like Unthank Road. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of Victorian terraces and larger detached homes. Its layout includes several quiet, tree-lined avenues and closes that give the neighbourhood its name. The local architecture ranges from red-brick period properties to more modern developments, creating a varied streetscape within a compact urban setting.

The area is named after the medieval Town Close, a large enclosed field that once existed here. While heavily built upon, fragments of this past remain in the form of some open green spaces and allotments tucked between houses. It functions as a practical residential district with local shops and services concentrated along its main perimeter roads, providing for daily needs without the bustle of the city centre directly within its quieter interior streets.
