This was so fun to watch!

i love your videos keep up the good work

Ya know, I'm curious just how much weight distribution a fleet of short and sturdy wooden, boxy steam tram locomotives could haul. I'm no mathematician, but the trams look like they could at least push and pull freight weight around up to 7 tons, to which I have no clue how many cars or carriages that would total up to. But if they were strong enough to haul trains ranging up to 4 to 7 passenger coaches long, then what astounding square machines on rails they were. Sadly not a lot of those steam trams have survived to be in preservation at any local public railroad/railway museum. Although, after growing up watching one of my favorite childhood TV shows, _Thomas & Friends,_ there is only one of those last surviving tram engines that was based off of them prior to the original _Railway Series_ books by Wilbert and Christopher Awdry, and that tram engine is Toby himself.

Those were the days....

Lovely film. Can remember the disused rails lines in the road at various points between Upwell and Elm. No part of this railway was in Lincolnshire.

found this on social Media,Good old King's Lynn,Not changed much over the years,Some places been pulled down,New places been built,been in king's Lynn all my life,Part from moved to Outwell for about 3 and half years

There is no market anymore, either on a Saturday or a Tuesday. As this video was taken several years ago, there have been some changes.

I use to work in Keymarkets on a Saturday, then when I was 16 I worked in Littlewoods and Tescos in high street. All people who worked in town could park on the Quay free . Now you have to pay.

I do remember the time walking through King's Lynn town in the snow,Hope it get snow soon,Normally get Jackfrost

Really interesting but a little too fast to digest the photograph details.

Magic memories, 96 Bagge Road, the Featherby’s.

Hope one of the Card shops have Christmas cards for sale,I buy them tomorrow after work,All I got left to do is find the last £40,Thats Christmas shopping done with all ready,Not wasting time this year

Also gone so quick this year,Don't seem that long since last Christmas,Just over a few months left to go,Hope I don't catch COVID this time

I remember going through the goods yard with my mum to St. Clements on a Sunday and riding to Wisbech (Where I was born) with my nan from Upwell. We lived in Cinema Cottages in Upwell, nan F. lived fuurther down stream by New Bridge and nan R lived in Hope House in Outwell. Dad would often race down the road in our van to get to the crossing first, because The Fruit Growers Special was soo long & slow it took forever to cross the unguarded road crossing, also you had to watch where you parked outside the shops, or you'd get tooted for blocking the line.

0:18 Heavens, we lived not far from that corner of Elm High Road at a house called Netherby, between 1976 and 1978. I recall the track bed along the side of the main road, but fairly certain all the track had been lifted before we moved there. Would loved to have seen it in action.

One loco survives today, no D2203

I was back visiting Lynn this summer for the first time since 2019, sad to see how a once-prosperous town has gone down the tubes, now full of pound shops and coffee chains, only M&S is still there but a shadow of its former self. I remember on Saturdays in the 80s I’d go the library while mum went shopping then we would meet for lunch in St. Margaret’s church (it was the cheapest place to get a bite to eat) then take the bus home struggling with bags of shopping. By the 90s I had a car so it was much easier to just to go into town on Fridays after work and do the grocery shopping then. Once the parking charges became too much we switched to the old Tesco on the Hardwick which was free. Sadly the council were to dumb to notice how out of town retail parks were killing town centres, and decided to build that huge car park by the swimming pool and increase the rates even more to pay for it. The result is that poor old Lynn is dying on its arse and nobody in power either at borough or county level wants to do anything about it. The redevelopment of the Vancouver centre was a massive waste of money as the hoped-for big name stores never materialised…

Cobblestones pub is now Coggles, a "family funeral director"; a trade with a steady customer base.

Thank you love your videos

For those who don't know, the Reverend W Audry who wrote the Thomas The Tank Engine books, was a local vicar. He was very familiar with the trams going through; both diesel and the original steam. And wrote the stories for his young son. I am also informed that he and the Reverend Boston (Wisbech's St. Peter & St. Paul's church) had a train set running in an upstairs room of Peckover House. With regard to the vehicles themselves, the coaches with the wrought iron verandah at each end were particular to this line after it was deemed viable for passenger traffic. One coach was lost in the Ealing Comedy 'The Titfield Thunderbolt' but the other is still to be found on the North Norfolk Steam Preservation Railway.

A awesome video of Kings lynn

Love this song

Great singer and Great friend you will be missed dearly,love and miss you.

Great singer a, Great friend

What a difference to today's Lynn. Your excellent photos show a thriving town centre with a great variety of shops, and plenty of customers. Since the "experts" modernised it with pedestrian areas, it is now an ugly mess. Most shop front signs are black and the traders use initials rather than their names- M&S, HMV, H&M etc. The ankle twisting blocks that were installed are in a poor state of repair, with patches of paving slabs and long strips of tarmac. I was in the town centre yesterday hoping to get some office supplies, but no luck. What a waste of a trip. Looks like it will have to be Amazon again! You can't blame them for the demise of town centres.

Born and bred a linnet some great photos, shame a lot of those shops gone now .

Happy Birthday Kimmy

I believe the” Tudor Rose Hotel is no longer there!
