About Baconsdozen and our store.  
We took over the premises of "East coast Stores" a long closed ships chandlers and fishing supply store opposite Lowestoft old trawler dock.  At that time (1998) Lowestoft was a major UK fishing port and for some years we supplied the commercial fishermen locally and throughout the UK with foul weather clothing,gloves,gutting and filleting knives,and general hand tools.The English fishing industry declined,with Lowestofts commercial fleet vanishing altogether in 2003 and we started selling more tools online and retailing over the counter.Finally as traffic restrictions,roadworks and a council obsessed with painting yellow lines made retailing more difficult,we concentrated on selling 'obsolete' imperial and metric tools online although we still stock gloves and oilskins for the fish merchants and commercial fishermen operating from the local fish market and harbour and by mail order. Most of the other shops and offices have closed and are now flats or bed sits,the road is in one of Lowestofts so called 'conservation' areas although conservation rules don't seem to apply to all,we have kept the shop frontage as it was originally built.
Industrial buildings on stilts are proposed in front of the shop blocking the view so we are locating at some time in the future.
Parking for free in lowestoft.
 We don't keep 'normal' shop hours so only receive visitors by appointment.
