King's Lynn Custom House |
King's Lynnis one of my favourite places. I used to stay in Friar's Street, and there was a lovely fish and chip shop nearby, in which the lady I stayed with worked part-time. I loved the warehouses, where there were always lovely smells in the air, I think it was coffee but it could have been any exotic spice in those far off days. I also remember the Custom House and the ferry to West Lynn. Also visiting other places such as Hunstanton where we enjoyed the beach and looking at the stratified coloured cliffs surrounded by greenery. Sandringham and South Wootton Another place was Sandringham the country home of the Queen . I remember that the main gates were a wedding present to King Edward the VII, given by Norwich City.  Bluebells |
Every year we went to Wootton Woods, amazed by the amount of fields of bluebells which we also picked. I vaguely remember picking primroses as well but that may not have been at South Wootton. A favourite time was going to the market place, and going to all the stalls. The last thing I bought there, was a battery gas lighter for the lady in Friar's Street to light her gas stove easily. My husband had family there so we used to stay with them, and we went as single friends, and later after the war when we had married and had children we used to take them there as well. My husband still has a few relatives who live in King's Lynn. Of course we only hear from them by mail now. Sincerely, Marj Busby, South Australia Would you like to be a BBC Norfolk correspondent?
