What visitors say
A valuable asset for Kings Lynn, telling the history of King's Lynn fishermen, boat building, and the area, most of which now demolished. Highlight are the two preserved fishermen's cottages, so small hard to credit a family of ten could all live in one. Additional asset is a small tea room

Brilliant museum telling the story of the poorer part of town, that is now all but gone. Thank God the cottages and smokehouse were preserved so there is something left to give you a sense of how people lived. Very friendly team of staff and volunteers and lovely tea room with nice food.

Fantastic museum detailing the history of the fishing industry in King’s Lynn. Two preserved cottages showing how people of the day lived. Delightful tea room offering home made sandwiches and cakes. Highly recommended.
