Colegate


The Colegate area is located to the north of Norwich city centre. It is a relatively small area but contains a high concentration of historic buildings and period features dating from the 17th century onwards.
The Colegate area encompasses Magdalen Street, which is the primary northern exit from Norwich and the shopping centre for the old town on the other side of the river Wensum. The area comprises small lanes criss-crossing larger streets running North and South. These essentially continue the medieval street pattern of older city centre streets, but with large old factory buildings and town houses dominating the landscape.
