What is recorded here
This green commemorative plaque records: Outer Purfleet Purfleet was the main harbour inlet of medieval Lynn, and originally much wider. Purfleet Quay was built in 1547. On this site stood Hull Warehouse (c1680), a tall granary (c1900), and then grain silos (1964-92). The dock was created in 2000, as a Millennium Project. Recorded plaque organisation: Rotary Club of Kings Lynn Trinity.
Hull Warehouse, established around 1680 on the site of Purfleet Quay, served as a significant granary and storage facility for trade goods, reflecting Lynn's importance as a medieval harbor and trading center. The evolution from warehouse to modern grain silos underscores the continuous adaptation of the site to meet changing economic needs in maritime trade and agriculture.
