About

Town Close is a residential ward situated just south of Norwich city centre. The area is primarily composed of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, with some modern infill developments. It is bounded by major roads like Newmarket Road and Hall Road, providing direct routes into the city. The University of East Anglia lies to its immediate west, influencing the local population mix. Grocery stores, cafes, and several schools serve the community's daily needs.

The ward contains the notable Eaton Park, a large public space with formal gardens, tennis courts, and a bowling green. The inner section of the outer ring road runs along its southern edge, marking a clear boundary. Residential streets are generally quiet, with a mix of long-term residents and students.
