Rich now poor in East Anglia (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

norwich

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'east anglia' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'rich now poor' is the wordplay.
'poor' indicates an anagram.
'rich'+'now'='richnow'
'richnow' anagrammed gives 'NORWICH'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for norwich that I've seen before include "City on the River Wensum" , "See" , "County town in E. Anglia" , "Norfolk city" , "E. Anglian county town" .)
