Market towns: Harleston
Summary
Historic Harleston was on the main route from London to Great Yarmouth and became a key trading place. It served as an important centre for the various trades connected with local agriculture such as linen weaving, milling and brewing. It was also on the route for cattle sent down from Scotland to be reared and sold on to the local and London markets.
Modern day Harleston is a busy market town – voted Norfolk Town of the Year in 2003.
Harleston is home to a delightful array of individual speciality shops and a thriving centre for the arts.
