True's Yard

Few of the fishermen's cottages that once sprawled inland from the quayside survived the decline of fishing at King's Lynn, but you can see two 18th-century homes restored to their lived-in state at this intriguing museum, alongside displays on shipbuilding and fishing culture. Spare a thought for the families who once lived squeezed like sardines into these tiny dwellings.
