Trues Yard Museum
True's Yard is all that remains of King's Lynn's old fishing community, the North End, which existed for hundreds of years, and which was finally demolished in the clearances of the 1930’s and the 1960’s. Once hundreds of families lived within a stone's throw of their chapel of St Nicholas, which still dominates the area, and the North End had its own boat builders, chandlers, sail makers, pubs, bake houses and school. Now, although the fishing fleet still sails regularly from King's Lynn, the old way of life has gone.

OPENING TIMES. Open Tuesday to Saturday from 10.00am until 4.00 pm. Summer openings include Mondays through June and July. The museum is accessible by wheelchair everywhere except the upstairs rooms at the cottages. Group visits are welcome but pre-booking is essential. Entry costs £3 for adults, £2.50 senior citizens, children £1.50 and under 5’s go free. Members of the Time Club have free admission with membership badge and when accompanied by a full paying adult.

There are special rates for family groups and for group visits. Reseach facilities are also available, contact the museum for details.
