Attleborough is a market town and civil parish between Norwich and Thetford in Norfolk, England. The parish is in the district of Breckland and has an area of 21.9 square kilometres (8.5 square miles). Attleborough is in the Mid-Norfolk constituency of the UK Parliament. Attleborough railway station is on 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 amongst 4185 households. It increased to a population of 10482 in 4481 households in the 2011 Census. The very first turnpike road in England is rumoured to have been created here at the end of the 17th century. The 1920s saw continuing growth 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 bustling market centre in the 1930s, and thousands have been sold every year on Michaelmas Day. Nearby employment still mostly revolved around the Gaymer's cider works, established in the late 19th century. A lot of the town's development occurred during the 1960s. The overspill programme and new town development brought new families into south Norfolk. Attleborough had to make decisions for the future and new development zones were designated. The initial estate programme started with the building of the council-owned Cyprus Estate which has since been added to by additional private housing schemes, including Fairfields and Ollands constructed mainly during the 1970s and a significant estate on the south side of the town in the 1990s.
