Sir Samuel Morton Peto

Centuries of Ongoing Change

Denmark Road, Flensburgh Street and Tonning Street: three closely connected roads near the shopping-centre and railway station of the Suffolk coastal town of Lowestoft (the UK’s most easterly community). What possible connection can there be between this trio, the most southerly located of the Scandinavian countries and two towns in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein?

Kirkley Cemetery is a burial ground in the Kirkley area of Lowestoft in Suffolk. Located on London Road South, the cemetery is maintained by Waveney District Council and is open for traditional and Green Burials. 

The railway swing bridge crossing Lake Lothing, at the western end of this stretch of water, carrying a small section of the track running between Lowestoft and Ipswich and allowing shipping to pass

Samuel Peto built the railway connecting Lowestoft to the rest of the railway system, thus fulfilling his promise that

"fish landed in the early catches would get through to Manchester in time for high tea".

A different kind of warning light from that referred to in Beacon Stones, with safety at sea the main consideration rather than warning of attack by an enemy.
