Map

Front garden wall of 24 The Street is constructed of reused limestone pieces of architectural origin.
Note the story that the park gates of Hillington Park (NHER 21255 and 21254) are built with material salvaged from the demolition of Lynn town walls. Houses seem to be of same early 19th century date and it is known that stone was brought from Lynn to the park to build 'lodges' in 1820.
