Attleborough (Hist: Attleburgh) was issued with the 34 Post Office numeral in 1844.

Attleborough is a market town and civil parish located on the A11 between Norwich and Thetford in Norfolk, England.

The parish is in the district of Breckland and has an area of 21.9 square kilometres.

The Anglo-Saxon foundation of the settlement is unrecorded. A popular theory of the town's origin makes it a foundation of an Atlinge, and certainly burgh (or burh) indicates that it was fortified at an early date. In the Domesday Book of 1086 it is referred to as Attleburc.

A great part of the town was destroyed by fire in 1559.

It was during that period that the Griffin Hotel was built, and it was in the cellars of the Griffin that prisoners on their way to the March Assizes in Thetford were confined overnight, tethered by chains to rings in the wall.
