Flower Delivery to Stalham with Clare Florist

As a market town and a civil parish in Norfolk in East Anglia, it is understandable that Stalham is a small location. Found on the River Ant, the town covers an area of 2.82 square miles and at the time of 2001 census, there were 1,333 households in the local area with the town population standing at close to 3,000 people. Stalham can be found within the Norfolk Broads, and it is located around 15 miles from Norwich, with connection to the major city made by the A149. Stalham is considered to be located within North Norfolk, at least with respect to local government issues, as many people of the parish are found to be lying under the authority of the Broads Authority.

The River Ant is known as a tributary river of the River Bure, which again is located in the county of Norfolk. The river is 17 miles long and there are close to 9 miles of the river being classed as navigable. There is a drop of around 25 metres from the source of the river to the north of the river. Historically, it is said that the River Ant was referred to as the River Smale, and it is believed that this is how the name of Smallburgh river came about.

The source of the River Ant is located east of Antingham, a small village in North Norfolk and there is a route which has been used as a canal close to this area.

There was once a railway station located in Stalham but this was closed down in 1959. The station used to be found on the line between Great Yarmouth and Melton Constable. The area is no derelict and the actual station was dismantled and taken by North Norfolk Railway to create a new station at Holt. The closest existing railway station for Stalham residents is found in Worstead.

Stalham suffered in the 1960s due to a significant reduction in the labour used in the agricultural industry, replaced by improving technology. There was an increase in the provision of housing in Stalham in the 1970s but this movement provided homes for people who were working in other areas and who were using Stalham as the base for their commute.

One area of local interest in Stalham is the Museum of the Broads which was opened in 2000 and is found on the Stalham Staithe. The museum aims to bring a sense of the local history of the Broads, while keeping it alive, to locals and residents alike in Norfolk. The museum is opened in the summer months and the staff have heard all of the jokes that can be made about the fact that broads is also a term that is sometimes used to describe women as opposed to the local area. This means that if you are intending to visit the museum, it is best not to use this joke.

Back in 2002, a Tesco supermarket was opened in Stalham and there was a great deal of protest about this decision. A number of local residents believed that the addition of a supermarket would kill the Stalham High Street but as the years have gone by, Tesco appear to be doing themselves more damage than they are doing to any High Street.
