Picture 18 - Stalham Staithe.

STALHAM STAITHE. Within a mile-and-a-half of Stalham is Barton Broad, a beautiful wood-fringed stretch of water, where the fishing is free and excellent. Stalham Broad now only consists of a tract of marsh with a dyke kept open through it. At the end of this is the picturesque village. As a fishing station, it is unsurpassed, and intending visitors can glean every information respecting tackle, bait, etc., at the chief inns or the local post office. Ample accommodation and a plenitude of boats are obtainable. Large quantities of eels are forwarded to the London and Midland markets from this district. Salmon’s Dyke, close by, is a spot much honoured by the Artist.
