AREAS and TYPES

1676 Samuel Pepys was elected a Master of the Trinity Brethren, and immediately sanctioned a new Lowestoft lighthouse. A  new Lighthouse tower was constructed, built of brick, this time on the cliffs. This became known as Lowestoft High Light. Trinity in its earlier records sometimes refers to the northernmost of the two Ness Point foreshore lights as the 'upper' light, which can be confusing.(drawing p93).

Tuesday's warning that gas shortages in this coming winter might lead to interrupted electricity supplies – that is, power cuts – reminded me of Lowestoft's own new power station.

Friday 16th December 1pm, Full House Duo will be performing festive classics on the Triangle Market.

Head on down to the Triangle Market this Friday and join acclaimed crooners (and brothers) Stephen and Paul Amer, who have sung for the queen, live on BBC Radio 2, and at some of the UK's most prestigious venues, as they take you on a musical journey playing homage to such legends as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, May King Cole and many more.

Reported rumours that Triangle Trees were for the chop turn out to be true – sort of.

LO&N published on Friday 11th a story which noted rumours that the four trees in front of the Sails were coming down.

We wrote that clearly this was unlikely, as Lowestoft Town Council (LTC) recognised Climate Emergency and was an Earth Protector.

We had asked LTC what was going on.

Now, we have more facts.

Looking southwards, along the North Sea Wall, to Ness Point - the most easterly part of the UK mainland. The presence of the Gulliver wind-turbine and the Orbis Energy Centre building just beyond it reminds us of Lowestoft’s role in the new world of renewable supplies of electricity - though it seems ironic that the turbine itself never seems to have its blades turning sufficiently to make any notable contribution to the National Grid.

A daily real ale festival, just off the town centre. Close to public transport links. Outdoor seating. Live music every week. Happy Days

There are two bars. The Front Bar, which unexpectedly is in the front, features a wooden floor, wooden chairs, old church pews, some pictures, and about four hundred beer pump labels, everyone a different brew. What it doesn't feature is a juke box.

The back bar does have one though, a thoroughly modern affair. The back bar also features the original pitched skylight window.
