54 and 55 Norfolk Street, King's Lynn Handsome flint and brick houses at 54 and 55 Norfolk Street in King's Lynn. The style is common in this part of the world but it would seem that the lower part of the house is a much more recent build than the upper suggesting it was formerly stables or a shopfront. 

Next door, at 56 Norfolk Street, once stood the evocatively named Crab and Lobster pub.

Captain George Vancouver in front of the Custom House The Custom House was built in 1684/5 and would have been familiar to Vancouver who was born in King's Lynn in 1757. He joined the Royal Navy at the age of 13 and appears to have retired when only about 38.

Vancouver's voyages and discoveries seem to have been downplayed at the end of his life, maybe not unrelated to his dispute with Pitt the Younger's violent cousin, Thomas Pitt, 2nd Baron Camelford, see: <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Vancouver" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Vancouver">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>
