King's Lynn

King's Lynn is a town and port in west Norfolk, home to more than 36,000 people and is the third largest settlement in Norfolk after Norwich and Great Yarmouth.

King's Lynn was home to Captain George Vancouver, born in the town in 1757. His voyages took him most famously, to Canada, where he founded the town, which now bears his name.

The North End, or Fishers End, in King's Lynn was the site of the town's fishing community. It was a self-contained world with its own traditions, shops, pubs, churches and school.

Modern day King's Lynn is very different with a lively high street, a league football team and the only speedway team in Norfolk.
