Southtown: Great Yarmouth to Gorleston

The few miles walk from Yarmouth quay to Gorleston and back. A cold day, bright and clear followed by darkness and sleet. Many windows looked dark, the wind harsh.

Score Draw: The Alleyways of Lowestoft

Wandering around some of the ancient Lowestoft alleyways known locally as 'Scores.'
Many featured long-gone inns and public houses, some of which entertained figures as historically important as King George II and Oliver Cromwell.

An information plaque describes how one (Maltster's Score) had 'an evil reputation for robberies.' Indeed, many run behind some of the town's shabbier streets, littered with empty cider bottles and condom packets, so it may not be the wisest idea to go walking around here at night these days, either. The sculptures to be seen in the Scores are known as the Maritime Art Trail, and are courtesy of an artist called Paul Amey.

Midsummer Sunrise from Dunwich Beach

Today was the first time I've visited Dunwich, Suffolk. It has held a fascination over me since I first heard of it - former capital of East Anglia, lost beneath the waves. The fact that it shares its name with one of HP Lovecraft's many haunted and decrepit locales gives it an added thrill.

A friend and I watched the midsummer sun break over the sea from Dunwich beach. We weren't alone - at some point another group appeared to watch the daybreak, several members offering a libation to the waves.

Out of Season: Cromer Boating Lake

The drained boating lake at Cromer overlooking the pier and North Sea. Winter did not look like it had been kind to the exposed seafront.
