    History

    When it was built No99 started out its life as one shop and not how it is now by being No99-99a. Back in 1876 the whole shop was Adam. J. Adams, grocery and Provisions and in 1900 its still Adam Adams grocer's. In the 1932 Kelly's Directory No99 had been separated and No99 is listed as Charles Culf Ltd specializing in House Furnishings with 99a being Provident Clothing and Supplies. In 1967 the shop had been made into one again and is listed as Browns Furniture. Moving on to the 1st picture the shop has become Frank Coleby Sports well before he moved to the old Texas building at No105. In the 1st picture Frank Coleby has gone and the building is separated into two again with Life-cycles in No99 and The Samaritans in No99a. Moving onto 2016 The Samaritans have moved into No99 and 99a is a tattoo studio called Epic.

    Nos. 97, 98, 99 & 100 - described in 1618 as one tenement, held by Elizabeth Pacey and previously by Robert White (fisherman-mariner). Stayed in the Pacy family’s occupation until into the 18th century, when it was in the possession of William Pacy (merchant), who came into ownership in 1723. This particular branch of the family had become Lowestoft’s wealthiest merchants by the third quarter of the 17th century, based on fishing and maritime trade. CREDIT: David Butcher
