Tales of the Old Gaol House
Let your imagination run riot as your explore King´s Lynn´s 1930s police station and into the old cells where smugglers caught by the revenue men of the Custom House would be thrown. Meet a drunken teddy boy locked up for the night, and hear the true stories of the town´s highwaymen, murderers and robbers. Hear the sounds and smell the smells of prison life two centuries ago, and see how it feels to be locked up in a dank cell or trapped in the stocks in the town´s market square.

Thursford Collection

The collection of mechanical organs, from the smaller street organ to the enormous dance organs and fairground organs all play jaunty tunes to both entertain and demonstrate the different styles and sounds of each one. Traditional Norfolk farm buildings have been transformed into Dickensian style gift shops.
