Winter wanderings...

...around Kings Lynn, Norfolk

A beautiful, cold crisp day of stunning blue skies, so cold that parts of the River Great Ouse and the harbour at Kings Lynn were still partly frozen over.

It’s late so I’ll leave you with a handful of scenes from Kings Lynn in extras (couldn’t decide again, I may swap my main blip...), and a potted history of the town:

“The Hanseatic town of King’s Lynn was one of England’s most important ports from as early as the 12th century and this maritime past is still very much in evidence today. Fine old merchants’ houses stretch down to the river between cobbled lanes and the elegant Custom House overlooks the harbour. The town’s heritage is reflected in an amazing array of historic buildings and at two magnificent market places: Saturday Market Place, where St Margaret’s Church , designated as a Minster Church in 2011 by the Bishop of Norwich, is surrounded by splendid buildings and Tuesday Market Place, quite possibly one of England’s grandest squares.” https://www.visitwestnorfolk.com/places/kings-lynn/
