About NRHG
Norwich Rivers Heritage Group was set up in 2002, by local people who wanted to support the proposal by Norwich City Council to link the city and Whitlingham Country Park with new paths and bridges across the Wensum and the Yare.
The focus of our project is the Trowse Triangle - the derelict and
poorly accessible riverside area in south-east
Norwich between the City Centre and Whitlingham Country Park.
Our aims
Investigate the river-related heritage - natural, industrial and
social - of the area,
Put forward ideas for managing, developing, and using its assets,
for the benefit of Norwich and its citizens, now and in the
future,
Tell people about the area and our ideas, and draw them into working with us,
Know about proposed developments in the area, and influence the outcomes.
What we have done so far
Gained the support of
National and Local Bodies
with an interest in the area,
Researched the area and made contact with people who have an interest in it,
Won grants from the
Local Heritage Initiative,
Learning City and
