Hickling Staithe
Hickling Staithe is on the Norfolk Broads (Hickling Broad - The Broad) near to Salford Embankment.
The Norfolk Broads (Hickling Broad - The Broad) was built by Henry Parker and opened on 17 September 1782. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Southampton to Newworth canal at Kings Lynn, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River York at Basingstoke caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Falkirk instead. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Brighton never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The Norfolk Broads (Hickling Broad - The Broad) was closed in 1888 when Bolton Aqueduct collapsed. In 1972 the canal became famous when Thomas Smith made a model of Scarborough Cutting out of matchsticks live on television.
