The Staithe, Stalham: A Glimpse into the Past of a Norfolk Town The Staithe at Stalham, a quaint and picturesque waterfront scene in the heart of Norfolk, England, as it appeared in the 1900s. This photograph, captured in the early 20th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of this charming town near North Walsham. The Staithe, or quay, was once the bustling hub of activity for the local community, with boats moored along the water's edge, ready to transport goods and people to and from the surrounding villages and farms. The town's strategic location on the River Bure made it an important trading center, and the Staithe was the gateway to the wider world for many local families. In this photograph, we can see the simple yet sturdy boats that were a common sight on the river, their sails furled and masts leaning against the quay. The wooden buildings that line the Staithe, with their thatched roofs and whitewashed walls, are a testament to the craftsmanship and resourcefulness of the local people. Despite the passage of time, the Staithe at Stalham remains a popular destination for visitors, who come to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and the rich history of this beautiful corner of Norfolk. Today, the town is home to a thriving community of artists, craftspeople, and boat builders, who continue to draw inspiration from the natural beauty of the river and the surrounding countryside.
