True's Yard Fisherfolk Museum

Museo | King's Lynn | Inglaterra | Reino Unido

El True's Yard Fisherfolk Museum en King's Lynn es un museo único dedicado a la historia de la comunidad pesquera en el norte de King's Lynn. El museo se encuentra en uno de los pocos edificios restantes de esa época y ofrece una profunda visión de la vida de los pescadores y sus familias que una vez vivieron y trabajaron allí.

El museo muestra cómo la dura y a menudo peligrosa vida de los pescadores moldeó una estrecha comunidad que se apoyaba mutuamente. Los pescadores a menudo navegaban hasta 100 millas para hacer sus capturas, mientras que sus esposas cuidaban de los niños en casa, esperaban y reparaban las redes. Esta estrecha unión y solidaridad de la comunidad del norte se refleja en las exposiciones.

Entre las piezas de la exposición se incluyen cabañas históricas decoradas según modelos originales que ilustran la vida cotidiana de las familias de pescadores en siglos pasados. Destaca la representación de la casa de humo, donde se ahumaba el pescado, una tradición profundamente arraigada en la historia de King's Lynn.

El museo no solo muestra la historia de la pesca, sino también los aspectos sociales y culturales de la vida en esta estrecha y autosuficiente comunidad. Los visitantes aprenderán sobre los artesanos de la zona como constructores de barcos, fabricantes de velas y vendedores de accesorios náuticos, que también formaban parte de este mundo laboral.

True's Yard ofrece una fascinante oportunidad de experimentar el patrimonio cultural de la comunidad pesquera y aprender más sobre las tradiciones y la unión de este grupo único de personas. Es un lugar importante para preservar la historia de una parte de King's Lynn que estuvo estrechamente vinculada a la pesca.

I wasn't sure what to expect but was very pleasantly surprised. For me the highlights were the yard cottage and smokehouse but there is a lot more to see in this well laid out museum which is a hidden treasure.

This is a really interesting museum with much local history in words, pictures and artefacts. The old fishermen’s cottages are fascinating and you can finish your visit with a lovely cup of tea and a piece of delicious farmhouse cake. The staff are helpful,and knowledgeable and happy to help I& required. If you’re on Kings Lynn, don’t miss it. Thank you.
