during the fifties my mother brother and me came to lowestoft for our summer holidays. we stayed with my aunty dorrie and uncle sidney flowers at the royal standard pub and guesthouse. sidney was a trawler man if i remeber rightly. he was a lovely jolly man and we loved going to the harbour with him. we also had fish and chips in a fish shop right by the quay. best fish we ever tasted straight from the sea on to the plate. happy days!!!!!
'The Tale of the Herring' is a project run by Newcastle University's Dove Marine Laboratory in Cullercoats. Celebrating the fishing heritage in five ports in eastern England, the project features a touring exhibition and work created by schools in 2011. Take a look around, learn more about the history of the ports, and submit your own photos and stories.
