By contrast, the "Golden Triangle" is the name for the district in between Earlham Road and Unthank Road, centred on Bury Street, which is exclusively populated by UEA students in their "living-out" year. Demand for a student house in the Triangle always exceeds supply, and the unlucky ones can find themselves living in relative social isolation out towards Dereham Road (if they're lucky: this is what an enterprising estate agent might call "Triangle Borders", or perhaps the "Silver Triangle", for those who had to accept second-best). Others will have to make do with Sprowston Road, or as far out as Lakenham or Costessey. (These are, or were, pleasant little villages that had an independent life as the Norfolk villages nearest to Norwich: urban sprawl is now incorporating them into the City and has largely eaten the open green fields that seperated them from Norwich)
