North : Catton & Sprowston

Division 2 : Area 3

New Sprowston : group 1

. . . 6 pubs in this group . . . 2 still serving.

 Meaning of symbols
These pubs lie mainly along the Sprowston Road :
on the South side of the City Boundary, but North of
the start of Mousehold Heath (Lazar House).

The 'lower' portion of the road (nearer the City)
is in Area 1

 

New Sprowston, like New Catton, is (paradoxically?)
nearer to the City than the original Sprowston village.

Listing
The pubs are listed roughly South to North.
