Attleborough is a market town and civil parish between Norwich and Thetford in Norfolk, England. The parish is inside the district of Breckland and has an area of 21.9 square kilometres (8.5 square miles). Attleborough is within the Mid-Norfolk constituency of the UK Parliament. Attleborough railway station provides a main line rail service to both Norwich and Cambridge. The 2001 Census recorded the town as having a permanent resident population of 9702 distributed between 4185 households. It increased to a population of 10482 in 4481 households by the 2011 Census. The first turnpike road in England is reported to have been created here at the end of the 17th century. The 1920s saw continuing development as a market centre, held on a Thursday, the stalls spread along the pavements of Church Street and in an open area by the Angel Hotel opposite the Griffin Inn. It was the turkey sales which made the town a thriving market centre during the 1930s, and thousands have been sold each year on Michaelmas Day. Nearby employment still largely revolved around the Gaymer's cider works, established in the late 19th century. Much of the town's development occurred in the 1960s. The overspill programme and new town improvement brought new households into south Norfolk. Attleborough had to make decisions for the future and new improvement zones were designated. The very first estate programme started with the construction of the council-owned Cyprus Estate which has since been added to by other private housing schemes, such as Fairfields and Ollands constructed mainly in the 1970s as well as a large estate on the south side of the town during 1990s.
