Lowestoft is a town in Suffolk, East Anglia, England, lying between the
eastern edge of The Broads National Park at Oulton Broad and the North Sea. The
most easterly point of the United Kingdom is within Lowestoft at Lowestoft Ness,
a length of coastline adjacent to an industrial development area. Lowestoft is
twinned with the French town of Plaisir and was twinned with Katwijk in the
Netherlands until that relationship ended in the 1990s. The town is divided in
two by Lake Lothing, with both North (NR32 postcode) and South (NR33 postcode)
sides of the lake containing residential and business sectors. The main shopping
areas lie just north of the divide. The town has two piers: to the south is the
Claremont Pier and just over half a mile (1 km) to the north of that is the
South Pier (so called because it is placed on the south side of the harbour and
river mouth). In the early part of the 20th century, the Claremont Pier had a
T-shaped pier head and was used as an embarkation point for the passenger
steamships that operated between London to the south and Great Yarmouth to the
north. Until recent years the South Pier used to have a building which was used
as a concert venue.
The seaward boundary of the harbour is a strip of land known as the Old
Extension, or the North Extension. Over the last couple of decades the Extension
has been the site of activity supporting the North Sea oil and gas industry;
particularly the construction of rigs. For many years before that, for example
in the 1960s, the Extension was unused by any industry, being derelict but
showing signs of an earlier period of industrial activity in its old railway
tracks and buildings. Lowestoft railway station is centrally placed within the
town, as well as also being within walking distance of the beach, providing
services to Norwich along the Wherry Line and Ipswich on the East Suffolk Line.
Some services also continue on through to London Liverpool Street along the main
line from Ipswich. All services are operated by 'one'. There was also a direct
link to Great Yarmouth's Southtown station, until it was closed in 1970 as a
result of the Beeching Axe. That link included Lowestoft North station, the site
of which is now occupied by Beeching Drive, located just to the east of the A12
opposite the Denes High School. Some of the original route to the west of the
A12 has now been made into a non vehicular public right-of-way, after having
been left unused and overgrown for many years.
