Old King’s Lynn

King’s Lynn was the next stop after Boston. My first time, in Norfolk which in this part of it was very reminiscent of the Netherlands.
King’s Lynn itself contains a strange mixture of architecture with several buildings surviving from mediæval times.
We passed this old gateway on the way in but photographed it on the way out:-
This is the Guildhall, the largest surviving English mediæval Guildhall. It’s not really curved I had to stitch two photos:-
King’s Lynn Minster lies just across the road:-
And just across the other road (the Guildhall is close to a junction):-
Greyfriars Tower, King’s Lynn. One of only three surviving Franciscan monastery towers in England:-
Without street furniture in the way. The building behind it, with the fire escape, is an Art Deco former cinema!:-
