Scenes for Armando Iannucci's David Copperfield were filmed in various locations around the historic port town, including the Purfleet Quay beneath the Custom House.
The historic quarter of King's Lynn was transformed into a Dickensian film set for movie, which stars Oscar-nominated actor Dev Patel.
Playing the titular character, the star was seen wandering down Nelson Street in Lynn in drab Victorian-style clothing.
The major movie production has been shooting scenes in different locations across the region, including Weybourne beach and Bury St Edmunds.

'It has an impact on tourism,' he added. 'The open spaces in Norfolk provides a lot of potential for film.'
