Toponymy

The name Golden Triangle was coined by Norwich estate agents during the 1980s property boom . As the city slowly crept outwards during the Victorian period, terraced housing was developed on land owned by a few rich landowners . The Heigham Lodge Estate of Timothy Steward gave rise to streets either side of Unthank Road .

The Unthank estate

Unthank Road took its name from the Unthank family who owned a large estate there in the nineteenth century . William Unthank’s son rode his horse along a sandy lane in order to court his future wife at Intwood Hall . The Unthanks owned or leased around 60 acres of land in the parish of Heigham where Heigham House was situated, surrounded by a wooded estate .

Second World War

Norwich suffered heavily from bombing during the Baedeker Blitz during April 1942 . Notable examples include 185 Unthank Road onwards, and 180 Earlham Road onwards .
