Lowestoft, The Lighthouse And Cottages 1887

More about this scene
Between the High Street and the Beach village, where the fishing community lived, were 12 narrow alleys, known as Scores. This row of fishermen's cottages took their name from the High Light, the lighthouse we can see in the background. The dioptric light was lit by oil until 1938, when it was electrified. The cottages were demolished the same year and replaced by council houses.
