The Pilot Office in King's Lynn, built in 1864, served as a crucial navigational aid for ships entering the estuary, replacing an earlier site at St Ann's Fort. Its later integration with the Public Baths into the Conservancy Board offices in 1897 underscores its importance in managing the port's operations and maritime safety.
