Ormesby St Margaret with Scratby is a civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. It is made up of the inland village of Ormesby St Margaret and the adjacent seaside resorts of Scratby and California.
The villages are some 1.2 mi apart, and they are situated about 6.2 mi north of the town of Great Yarmouth and 19 mi east of the city of Norwich. The civil parish has an area of 4.5 mi (7.2 km) and in the 2001 census had a population of 4,021 in 1,680 households. For the purposes of local government, the parish falls within the district of Great Yarmouth. Great Ormesby railway station was once located here on the line between Great Yarmouth and Melton Constable.It is now closed. California owes its name to the discovery of some 16th-century gold coins on the beach in 1848, at a time when the California gold rush had captured the attention of the world.
If anybody would like to expand to this series please do. I would just ask that you let SmokeyPugs know first so they can keep track of the Village Sign numbers and names to avoid duplication.
