Attleborough
Attleborough is a market town and civil parish between Norwich and Thetford within 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 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 grew to a population of 10482 in 4481 households by the 2011 Census. The very first turnpike road in England is rumoured to have been developed 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 in the 1930s, and thousands were sold each year on Michaelmas Day. Local employment still largely revolved around the Gaymer's cider works, established in the late 19th century. A great deal of the town's improvement occurred in the 1960s. The overspill programme and new town development brought new households into south Norfolk. Attleborough had to make choices for the future and new improvement zones were designated. The initial estate programme started with the construction of the council-owned Cyprus Estate which has since been added to by additional private housing schemes, including Fairfields and Ollands built mainly in the 1970s as well as a substantial estate on the south side of the town during 1990s.
