The first turnpike road in England is reputed 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 across 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 have been sold each year on Michaelmas Day. Local employment still primarily revolved around the Gaymer's cider works, established in the late 19th century. A great deal of the town's improvement occurred during the 1960s. The overspill programme and new town improvement brought new families into south Norfolk. Attleborough had to make choices 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 other private housing schemes, including Fairfields and Ollands constructed mainly in the 1970s along with a significant estate on the south side of the town during 1990s.
