Capacity sits at about 27,000 across four stands, with the Barclay End giving the loudest singing on a Saturday. The colours are canary yellow and green. On match day the streets between Riverside and Thorpe move with one steady current. — from the studio

The place, in three passes.

A little of what's known, in case you fall down the rabbit hole — or want to go see it yourself.
— the place

Carrow Road has been the home ground of Norwich City Football Club since 31 August 1935, when the club moved from The Nest. It sits on the south bank of the River Wensum, a short walk east of Norwich city centre. Current seated capacity is approximately 27,000 across four stands: the Geoffrey Watling City Stand, the Jarrold Stand, the Barclay End, and the Snake Pit corner. The ground takes its name from Carrow Road itself, named in turn for Carrow Abbey, a Benedictine nunnery that once stood nearby on the river.

— the visit

On a home matchday the walk in is from Norwich station across the Wensum or down Prince of Wales Road through Riverside. The Barclay End is the traditional home singing section and the loudest stand by some margin. The club's nickname, the Canaries, dates to the city's eighteenth-century weaving trade and the songbirds the Flemish refugee weavers kept; the colours are yellow and green. Tours of the ground, including the tunnel and home dressing room, run on most non-matchdays through the club's official channel.

— the year

The English football season runs August to May, with Norwich playing roughly nineteen home league fixtures across that calendar plus cup ties at home as drawn. The club, founded in 1902, won the League Cup in 1962 and again in 1985, the two pieces of major silverware in the trophy room. The local derby is against Ipswich Town, the Old Farm Derby, contested whenever both clubs share a division. The end of the calendar runs through to the final Saturday in early May, with promotion and relegation decided across the same afternoon.

What people ask.

A few questions we get about Carrow Road — and about bringing the piece home.
— about the place

Carrow Road is the football ground of Norwich City Football Club, on the south bank of the River Wensum in Norwich, Norfolk. It has been the club's home since August 1935.

The current seated capacity is approximately 27,000 across four stands: the Geoffrey Watling City Stand, the Jarrold Stand, the Barclay End, and the Snake Pit corner.

The nickname traces to Norwich's eighteenth-century textile trade, when Flemish weavers settling in the city kept canary birds. The club adopted yellow and green colours and the Canaries name.

The street takes its name from Carrow Abbey, a Benedictine nunnery founded in the twelfth century that once stood near the river. The ground is named for the road, not the abbey directly.

The simplest route is a ten-minute walk from Norwich railway station, either across the Wensum on the riverside path or via Prince of Wales Road and Rouen Road through Riverside.

— about the piece in your home

Yes. Many of our customers send a Small or Medium to lifelong Canaries fans or to family members who grew up in Norfolk. The yellow and green read instantly to a supporter.

The canary yellows and grass greens sit well in English Country, Warm Traditional, and Maximalist jewel-tone rooms. The tile carries the club's colour without imitating club merchandise.

Yes. Sport-tile groupings have run strong through the recent home-pub direction. A Medium or Large above a bar shelf, or a 4-tile Mural along a games-room wall, both work.

Above a standard sofa or console, a single Large carries the wall well. For a wider span, a 4-tile Mural in the same artwork holds a games room without crowding the seating.

Yes. Order the tile in the Dura Satin or Matte finish for any vertical install in a kitchen backsplash, shower, or powder room. Both finishes are scratch-resistant.

Yes. Every WenderVista piece is original to the studio. The tile is not licensed merchandise of Norwich City Football Club, and each is hand-finished in Knoxville before shipping.
