171 High Street

One of Lowestoft's Our Fallen lived here... 

No 171 in the 2nd picture has the lady and child standing to the side of the doorway and in 1865 Mr Samuel Lancelot Cook was running the shop as a Baker's and Confectioner's. In the picture you can make out G. J. Cook on the sign above the door. Soon after the picture was taken, the shops and houses were knocked down and the 3rd picture shows the date the new buildings were built. After it was rebuilt I cannot find any listing of a shop but it appears to have become a private dwelling. The top half of the town was once called by one of Lowestoft's early Mayor's a Mr Adam Adams as "the Fag end of town". CREDIT:Crispin Hook
