Pictures of Lowestoft harbour,its
boats,us and other things.
No real theme,apart from they were all taken in Lowesoft.I
am going to add more,I hadn't realised Lowestofts beamers were going to
be sold off and that now more fish arrive in the market by way of foreign
lorry than by british boat.So called 'Flagships' still call here and there's
still a tiny fleet of smaller boats landing fresh fish for those who want
it.
Rig stand by vessels,some redundant,some waiting
new owners,some just waiting.The Royal Norfolk and Suffolk Yacht Club and
marina are in the background.A short distance to the left is the North
Sea to the right is Lowestofts bascule bridge,Oulton Broad and on to the
Norfolk Broads.
Waveney Road and our shop is on the extreme right
of this picture..Years ago this part of the dock was full of railway lines,trucks
and sheds,now they've vanished,along with the herring industry they supported..Most
days there are as many if not more 'historic' fishing vessels in the harbour
giving tourists something to gawp at,as there are real fishing boats providing
real fish.
Lowestoft's Commercial Road and an ex rescue boat
is being converted to a diving support vessel in the dry dock of Small
& Co of Lowestoft.
This is Jack,our newest recruit,head of security
and the complaints department.
