Hammond Way
Named after Charles R A Hammond from the Hammond family who lived 1855-1959 and was a director at Barclays Bank The Hammond family used to live at Sprowston Grange what is now The Racecourse.
Woodside Model Village was also on Hammond Way too.. Thanks to Steve James Eggleton who tells us. "It was built around 1938, different designs of houses proposed for the development of Norwich after the slum clearances to show how they wanted to develop, and demonstrate different layouts of property. There was a sign at the entrance to Greenborough Rd which said Woodside Model Village. At that time was green fields all the way to cow tower. That's why the houses on the road are similar, but different. Thorpe, Sprowston, Catton, Hellesdon built after followed the designs."
