A new exhibition showcasing works by local artist Christopher Thomas Page is providing a colourful snapshot of King’s Lynn in the first half of the 20th century.
It runs until April in the Fermoy Gallery at St George’s Guildhall on King Street.

The free exhibition features a selection of Page’s colourful watercolours of town scenes. Page lived in King's Lynn from the 1880s until his death in 1952.
He took a great interest in the town's heritage and was a skilled taxidermist and the first paid curator of the town's museum and art gallery.

Pupils looked at buildings in King’s Lynn, both old and modern, and sketched architectural features before producing a painting of a building that is significant to them. The paintings were then put together to form a group collage.
The exhibition of children’s artwork runs until Saturday, March 2.
