Stalham Firehouse Museum

We open from 31st of March to the end of September. Admission is Free, although any and all donations are most appreciated.

Stalham Firehouse opened in 1833 on the corner of the Church and is understood to be the third oldest organised Fire Brigade in Britain.

The Firehouse was restored in 2002 and the Museum opened in November that year. We have a wonderful collection of historical fire brigade related items including an original horse drawn pump engine. The museum is currently Grade 2 Listed

The purpose of Museum is to repair, restore, improve and preserve the building and contents of historical importance and make them available for public viewing.

The Stalham Firehouse Museum is run entirely by volunteers.

Our volunteers are on hand with a good humoured wealth of knowledge to guide, explain and enhance your visit.

Admission is FREE, although any and all donations are greatly appreciated.

Can you help?

There were Norfolk Firefighters who were called up in World War 1 and World War 2, and possibly the Korean War and killed in action. If this was one of your relatives, we would love to hear from you in memory of those firefighters and with your permission we will inform the Firefighters Memorial Trust.

We would also like to be able to record all fallen Norfolk firefighters in the line of duty from any period.

Do you have any anecdotes you would like to share?
