Norfolk Estuary - the Procession in Lynn, 1850. Creator: Unknown
Norfolk Estuary - the Procession in Lynn, 1850. The inhabitants of King's Lynn in Norfolk celebrate a civil engineering project to divert the course of the River Ouse and enable land reclamation. The assembling on the Tuesday Market-hill was a pleasing and interesting sight...the different processions of Odd Fellows, Foresters, navvies, and sailors, marched to their position, each being preceded by a band of music and banners...The whole cortege left the Tuesday Market-place soon afterwards...The procession, which extended a very considerable distance, was graced by the presence of Lady Ffolkes, also the Mayoress of Lynn, and a great number of other ladies...Some idea may be formed of the length of the procession, when we state that it occupied twenty-five minutes in passing St. Margaret's Church'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
