The Golden Triangle is an area in the city of Norwich, United Kingdom. It is wedge-shaped, with the thin end at the city centre, spreading outwards between Newmarket Road and Earlham Road. The Golden Triangle has a cosmopolitan mix of students, professionals, and families. The area is characterised by its terrace housing, pubs and parks which offer small festivals during the summer months such as the GreenStock Festival in Heigham Park()(). The friendly atmosphere has resulted in the Golden Triangle being dubbed by one estate agent as the Notting Hill of Norwich.〔(Norwich gets to wake up, rise and shine - Telegraph )〕 Unthank Road is often cited as being the centre of the Golden Triangle. In May 2008, 66% of residents voted for the Green Party of England and Wales(), helping to establish them as the main opposition challengers to the Labour Party at Norwich City Hall.〔(Green Party key gains in Norwich )〕 == History == The majority of the buildings in the area are from the Victorian era, built between the 1870s and early 1900s. The term Golden Triangle was originally coined by estate agents in the 1980s and applied then to the region between Unthank Road, Earlham Road and Christchurch Road. The triangle referred to the shape of this region and the word golden to the prices estate agents could demand! By some definitions the area has in recent years spread as far north as Dereham Road, however it is generally taken to be the area bounded by Earlham Road, Newmarket Road and Colman Road / Mile End Road. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Golden Triangle (Norwich)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
