York Road

Running west from Vancouver Avenue: traditional terraces of larger houses of Edwardian style but probably more contemporary with Vancouver Avenue and Sidney Street. It is the address of the pre-1830 Chase House although this last does not front the road and clearly has only a casual connection with it. B Howling and A Parker, Kings Lynn: A history and celebration (Frith Book Co for Ottakars 2004)p 92: ‘South-east of town, beyond the farmhouse that is still in York Road, the Chase Gardens Estate was developed by Sir Alfred Jermyn, owner of the High Street department store (now Debenhams) who invested with his local professional friends.’
