The Old Chemist's Shop, Stoke Ferry

This former shop, dated 1824, was in a state of imminent collapse in the 1980s.

King's Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council undertook some emergency propping before the Trust acquired the grade II building and undertook its restoration and conversion into two dwellings.

Prior to the completion of the bypass to the village several properties in the main street had lain empty for long periods of time and there was a marked reluctance from private purchasers to come forward.

It was clear that action by the Trust was necessary if the building was to be saved.

Repair work was completed in 1987 with the benefit of grants from the Borough Council and the two dwellings are let on long lease.
