| 説明 | Buildings on Queen Street in King's Lynn. Mostly taken for the plaques.Depending on the light / room it was hard getting some of these. Also traffics passes down here a lot.This is Clifton House on Queen Street in King's Lynn. It is a fine example of a medieval merchant's house.Most of the building dates from the 16th and 17th centuries, although there is a late 14th century brick vaulted undercroft and two rooms with early 14th century tiled floors.After getting the plaques I tried to get one shot of the house.
