Norfolk Estuary - the Procession in Lynn, 1850. Creator: Unknown
Norfolk Estuary - the Procession in Lynn, 1850. The inhabitants of King's Lynn in Norfolk celebrate a civil engineering project to divert the course of the River Ouse and enable land reclamation. The assembling on the Tuesday Market-hill was a pleasing and interesting sight...the different processions of Odd Fellows, Foresters, navvies, and sailors, marched to their position, each being preceded by a band of music and banners...The whole cortege left the Tuesday Market-place soon afterwards...The procession, which extended a very considerable distance, was graced by the presence of Lady Ffolkes, also the Mayoress of Lynn, and a great number of other ladies...Some idea may be formed of the length of the procession, when we state that it occupied twenty-five minutes in passing St. Margaret's Church'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

Norfolk Estuary - the Procession in Lynn, 1850: A Grand Celebration of Civil Engineering and Community Pride This photograph print from the 19th century, titled 'Norfolk Estuary - the Procession in Lynn, 1850', showcases a momentous occasion in the history of King's Lynn, Norfolk. The inhabitants of this historic town gathered to celebrate the completion of a significant civil engineering project that involved diverting the course of the River Ouse, enabling land reclamation. The scene on the Tuesday Market-hill is a delightful and intriguing sight, as various processions of Odd Fellows, Foresters, navvies, and sailors, each preceded by a band of music and banners, assembled. The whole cortege was graced by the presence of Lady Ffolkes, the Mayoress of Lynn, and a multitude of other ladies. The procession extended an impressive distance, taking twenty-five minutes to pass St. Margaret's Church. The photograph offers a glimpse into the patriotic spirit of the community, as men, women, and children gathered to honor the achievements of their townspeople. The image, engraved from the Illustrated London News, captures the essence of the Victorian era with its banners, carriages, and union jacks waving proudly in the wind. This print serves as a testament to the community spirit and the importance of civil engineering projects in shaping the landscape and the lives of those who call it home. The Procession in Lynn, 1850, remains an enduring symbol of the pride and unity that comes from working together to overcome challenges and create a better future.
