About Baconsdozen and the store.

Baconsdozen the old shop on Lowestofts dockside

The shop building now occupied by Baconsdozen was for many years a general store then a ships chandlers supplying local fishing crews.When Lowestofts fishing fleets and beam trawlers vanished it went back to trading as a tool and general store.
Now,surrounded by yellow lines,parking and loading restrictions none of which the council would dare put anywhere near a Tesco or Asda,most of our trade is via the internet,by mail order and online tool auctions.
The store is in the middle of a conservation area but is one of the only buildings in it that looks as it did during the period when Lowestoft was a major British fishing port.
