Trues Yard Fishing Heritage Museum, Norfolk
True's Yard is built around the last surviving cottages in Lynn’s once thriving North End fishing community which existed for hundreds of years and was demolished in the 1930's and 1960's. The tiny, carefully recreated rooms capture the harsh realities of fishing life and the traditions and spirit of a close-knit community.
True's Yard offers a variety of special events through the year, including talks, special exhibitions, local history courses, tracing your family tree etc, as well as jumble sales.
The museum also includes an archive room and library (call in advance to check opening), children’s workshops (booking required), tours (booking essential, and the shop has an excellent selection of local history books.
Opening Times
Open Tuesday to Saturday from 10.00am until 4.00 pm.
