Yesterday evening the King’s Lynn Festival featured a talk on Pompeii and Herculaneum by Professor Wallace-Hadrill, a world renowned expert in the field. The talk was extremely interesting, and all but one of the questions from the floor were sensible.
During the day I was viewing properties for rent in King’s Lynn. This came about because it has become obvious that Genesis Housing is not a suitable option. I had come up with a list of six properties which warranted further investigation, four of which my mother had arranged for us to see yesterday, while we are waiting on the other two. In addition to the four I had noted Abbotts thought that they had another worth viewing. The first property, a third floor flat in The Granaries was far too small. The second, a flat overlooking the High Street, was the best we saw all day, not only being spacious and well-organised but also possessing outside space – a real bonus. The extra property, 9 Priory Lane came next, and was so badly afflicted with damp as to entirely cancel out it’s advantages. The other two properties, viewed later in the afternoon, were in an area that had some very obvious problems. The first of these, on North Everard Street was absolutely hopeless. The place in Valingers Road was better but still not great. Only the property overlooking the High Street is worth following up on. I include a couple of photos taken from the outside space belonging to this property:
