Most of this New City was demolished through slum clearance programmes after World War II, but the fine Crescent remains.

[3][4] In addition to Chapelfield Gardens (which is separated from the Golden Triangle by the inner ring road) are Heigham Park and the Jenny Lind open space.

[1] The name Golden Triangle was coined by Norwich estate agents during the 1980s property boom and the term was used to highlight this popular area for people to live in.

[5] As the city slowly crept outwards during the Victorian period, terraced housing was developed on land owned by a few rich landowners.

But the largest block of humbler Victorian terraced housing was on the Unthank estate in the city-side parish of Heigham.

[1] By 1855 Clement William Unthank had inherited Heigham House but moved out to his wife's larger estate at Intwood Hall, a few miles south of the city.

Clement William was a solicitor and it was his detailed contracts that ensured the relative uniformity of the Victorian terraces that were built on Unthank land: 'good white brick', for instance, was specified in CW Unthank's restrictive covenants as were the characteristic arches of gauged bricks around the doors.
