More about this scene
Lowestoft, standing on Britain's most easterly point, has fought a long and not always successful battle against the ravages of the North Sea. A total of £750,000 went into concrete and steel sea defences between 1903 and 1949. This is an archetypal late Victorian seaside scene. Deckchairs, donkey rides and, in the background, the South Pier with its gabled pavilion, make up the picture, while the holidaymakers are, as usual, well-wrapped-up against the biting North Sea breezes.
