Légende
Triumphal Arch at West Lynn, 1850. The inhabitants of West Lynn (now part of the town of King's Lynn in Norfolk), celebrate a civil engineering project to divert the course of the River Ouse and enable land reclamation. 'At the entrance of the village of West Lynn, across the road near the post-office, a triumphal arch was erected, in the front of which were the words "We bid you God speed," and on the reverse, "Go on and prosper"...The procession, which extended a very considerable distance, was graced by the presence of Lady Ffolkes, also the Mayoress of Lynn, and a great number of other ladies.' From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
