An historic King s Lynn building will finally reopen its doors this months after concerns had previously been raised over its future.
The 17th-century Custom House will be open on Wednesdays and Saturdays from July 21 thanks to volunteers from the King s Lynn Civic Society who have worked closely with West Norfolk Council.
The building had been closed for more than two years for refurbishment work with the tourist information centre being relocated to the Stories of Lynn museum in the Saturday Market Place.
One door for exiting and entering the building had previously been deemed unsafe during the pandemic, with the reopening delayed until it felt more safe to do so.
