Thorpe next Norwich

Thorpe St Andrew is often referred to as Thorpe next Norwich on some websites. How near is next? That's the subject of debate with local road signs adding to the confusion. The Visitnorwich website promotes the city centre to visitors, but seems to have very little information on Thorpe St Andrew town and suburb. A site search gives just two results. The Farmers Market at St Andrews Centre, and Hill House Guest House. Two miles or 'next'? Either way it's close enough to have the fantastic amenities and businesses in Thorpe St Andrew more fully promoted. 💙
