Map

August 2009. Listed, Grade II.
Terrace of five red brick cottages with tiled roofs built in 1883, with some 20th century additions.
Until 1856 there had been a small number of officers based in King's Lynn fulfilling mainly customs duties. In 1875 plans were drawn up for a new coastguard station, now St Edmund's Terrace, and this was opened in 1883. This terrace of five cottages provided accommodation for the crew and their families, while 6 St Edmunds Terrace, immediately to the north, was apparently divided between officers' accommodation and a boathouse.
