Fenton Insurance. Lovely sweeping curve and canopies over windows and door:-

Corner detail:-

In need of some tlc, though:-

Fine lettering and flagpole holders on this brick-built garage.
(Photo snatched – not by the driver – through car window while awaiting traffic light to change):-

Second snatched photo:-

The Record Shop. Great stained glass with Art Deco motifs:-

Stained glass detail:-

Hocus Pocus. Body piercing etc:-

Extension to Hocus Pocus, up a back alley:_

The windows on this one, now the British Legion, have been comprehensively wrecked:-

Again abominably named. Phones 4 U:-

King’s Lynn Bus Station. Too “boxy” and modern to be deco?

Norfolk Constabulary Building. Definitely 1930s in style:-

RBS. Glass bricks, balcony railings and round tower:-

Corner Deco. WMS Recruitment:-

A shop called CSS:-

McDonald’s:-

Debenham’s. (Maybe not deco):-

The abominably named Cash 4 Clothes (again maybe not deco):-

There’s a lovely curved frontage to Burton’s, King’s Lynn:-

Detailing round window:-

Column detail:-

Roofline detail. Odd Cadbury’s Smash-like figure stencilled to right here:-

Almost the first thing I noticed on getting out of the car in King’s Lynn was a blocky Art Deco building with typical deco glazing. (Note Greyfriar’s Tower behind):-

It wasn’t till working round the town that I discovered it was the former Ritz Cinema, now a bingo hall:-

Note “rule of three” in the doors and the columns and windows above them. View from main street (again you can glimpse Greyfriars Tower behind):-

Other side view (from the War Memorial and in front of Greyfriars Tower):-

This stands in Greyfriars Gardens opposite the headquarters of Norfolk Police and near to Greyfriars Tower.

The Memorial itself is a simple cross surmounting a pillar on an octagonal base and plinth. The inscription is for the Great War though the Memorial contains the names of the dead from both World Wars.

Each of the slimmer hexagonal elements of the base lists battles/campaigns of the Great War.

Engagements at sea:-

Overseas campaigns:-

Western Front battles:-

Mainly Middle-East campaigns but not exclusively so:-

Dedication to post 1945 conflicts:-

There is a separate Memorial Stone dedicated to the Burma campaign 1941-45:-

There is a further Memorial stone table, flanked by two inscribed tablets:-

This photograph of the inscription on the top comes from King’s Lynn Roll-of-Honour:-

Memorial tablet laid by various commemorative organisations:-

Tablet dedicated to 50th anniversary of end of World War 2:-

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):-

A quaint old street:-

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!:-
