Earlham Road

The road formerly marked the northern limit of the Golden Triangle, a prime residential area of southwest Norwich.

The term has since been expanded by local estate agents to include most of the southern region of the city within the outer ring road.

At the city end of Earlham Road lies the Roman Catholic Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, a dominant Neo-Gothic building built as a church in 1882 and designed by brothers George Gilbert Scott Junior and John Oldrid Scott.

[citation needed] On 3 March 1988, Earlham Road was the scene of the bizarre sinking of a double-decker bus.

[2] The cause of the event was found to be the collapse of a Medieval chalk mine discovered under the road.
