Description

Lowestoft is the UK's most easterly town. The settlement originally grew up around its fishing industry, particularly for herring, before being developed as a resort in the nineteenth century. Manufacturing industries also flourished although the town was heavily targeted by aerial bombardment during the Second World War and have dwindled recently, alongside the decline in fishing. Oil and gas energy industries have also been a significant part of Lowestoft, moving towards more renewable energy today.

In Quirky Lowestoft local author Bill Lovelock delves into the fascinating tales from Lowestoft's past and what makes it unusual today. From curious characters and the town's deep connections to the sea to unusual structures and uncanny events, readers will find stories of the Victorian engineer and diving pioneer whose grave is marked by a large boulder, the translator of Persian literature who ran a herring lugger with a Lowestoft fisherman, the Tudor-built pub where a landlord took out insurance against poltergeists, hauntings, the characteristic deep alleyways known as 'Scores' and much, much more. Quirky Lowestoft celebrates the unusual and often strange history of Lowestoft and its characters over the years. This fascinating insight into Lowestoft will be of interest to all those who want to know more about the town's quirky history.
