Picture 48 - Thorpe St. Andrew, Norwich.

THORPE ST. ANDREW, NORWICH. Our view here depicts the most charming and pleasant suburb of Norwich. Its waters are picturesque in the extreme, while its green marshes, bounded by the wooded slopes, makes it one of the prettiest spots in England. The village church, dedicated to St. Andrew, is a handsome and imposing structure, with elegant spire and silvery bells. Thorpe and its environs are favourite promenades of the citizens, its pleasure gardens being a popular resort during the summer months. Good rowing may be enjoyed. A long straight reach brings the tourist to Whitlingham, and thence on to the eminence known as Postwick Grove a view worth the visit.
