Local Accommodation
Let your imagination take you back in time to Lynn's 1930 police station and its 200 year old cells. Shudder at true stories of the town's highwaymen and robbers. Visit the fine civic treasures housed in the undercroft of the 15th Century Guildhall
You can meet a drunken teddy boy locked up for the night, and hear the true stories of the town's highwaymen, murderers and robbers. You can 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.
Your guide describes how 'witches' were identified and punished, and you can hear the crowds shout as one poor woman is captured to be taken to her fate! Enjoy an atmospheric visit with the sounds and smells of prison life two centuries ago at the Old Gaol House.
