A few people on the quayside of the Purfleet, an historic dock leading from the River Great Ouse in King’s Lynn, Norfolk, Eastern England, which is the site of the famous old Custom House. The Custom House is probably the best-known building in this ancient town and port on the west coast of Norfolk. It was built as a merchant exchange in 1683 on reclaimed land at Purfleet Quay in the Dutch style so often seen in Norfolk. The building was bought by the Crown in 1717 for the use of Customs officers and was in use in that capacity until 1989. The Union Flag is flying at half-mast in tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II who had died a few days earlier.

High water marks beside the doorway to St Margaret’s Church, King’s Lynn Minster. They show the levels the flood waters reached on the church fabric in various years. The 1953 floods along the East Coast of England are particularly remembered because of the severe loss of life and damage to property; the flooding was caused by a combination of storm surge, high atmospheric pressure and extra high tides.
