Riverside

Riverside is an area in the city of Norwich, Norfolk, England, along the east bank of the River Wensum. Very close to the city centre, it lies between the river and the Great Eastern Main Line, with Norwich railway station at the northern end and Norwich City's Carrow Road stadium at the southern end. The area was historically an industrial area with the river being Norwich's link to the coast. Companies such as engineering firm Boulton & Paul developed on the site. The engineering works closed in the late 1980s leaving the site largely derelict. For much of the 1990s it was mainly used as a park and ride car park for Norwich. In 1994, Norwich City Council, along with private stakeholders, presented the first development plans for the area. The first phases of the redevelopment opened in 1999. This has seen the area developed as a mixed-use site with a combination of leisure, retailing and residential land use. This includes a major supermarket, a multiscreen cinema, a bowling alley and a swimming pool.

My Lord's Garden

My Lord's Garden was a pleasure garden laid out by John Evelyn for Henry Howard, 6th Duke of Norfolk in circa 1663. Consisting of two acres of gardens and orchards in the ruins of the friary of the city's Austin Friars, it was located between the River Wensum and the street Conesford Inferior in the parish of St Peter Parmentergate in the Conesford ward. It is Evelyn's only known city garden that was public space, and the earliest known commercial garden in the city. It is now the site of St Anne's Quarter, though its 'summerhouse', Howard's House, is still extant.
