True’s Yard Ghost Hunts, Saturday 5th October 2024
£30.00
Sold Out
True’s Yard Museum is a social history museum in Kings Lynn run entirely by volunteers. It depicts the story of the old North End fishing quarter of King’s Lynn. Most of the North End was knocked down in the slum clearances of the 1930s and 1960s.
The cottages have just two rooms, one upstairs and one downstairs. At one time, a family of eleven squeezed into cottage no. 5’s tiny rooms. The nine children had to sleep in one double bed, top to tail, while the parents had to sleep on the floor.
The smokehouse was opened in the 1890s by retired fisherman Thomas Westwood, along with his wife Mary and three daughters, Mary, Penelope, and Emily. He also had two sons, Thomas and Charles. The family also opened a fishmonger’s in the house’s front room facing St. Ann’s Street, from which they sold the fish they smoked in the smokehouse situated to the rear.
A favourite smoked fish in the North End was the ‘bloater‘ or a herring smoked whole.
With this site steeped in so much history, it is said that True’s Yard could be one of the most haunted sites in Norfolk. Many have reported hearing disembodied voices, reports of spirit children, and objects moving of their own accord. Will you brave a ghost hunt at True’s Yard? A historic site that is waiting to tell you its stories.
