Norwich is located in the East of England on the river Wensum. Its economy developed in the eighties and nineties from being mainly industrial, with shoemaking the largest sector, to a service-based economy. Norwich Union, and Aviva still dominate, but they have now been joined by other insurance and financial services companies.
New developments on the former Boulton and Paul site include the Riverside entertainment complex with nightclubs and other venues featuring the usual national leisure brands. Nearby, the football stadium is being upgraded with more residential property development alongside the river Wensum.
