Interesting Lowestoft.

Many people feel that Lowestoft is boring & doesn't have a lot going for it.  The idea of this thread is to challenge that view.  Obviously what makes a town interesting is subjective, but if others help me we should find something for most people.

I'll start this properly tomorrow, this is just to remind me!

I haven’t heard of a river that actually ran through Kessingland - however, there is the River Hundred which is just south of Kessingland.  As you leave the bypass, the A12 slowly drops down and, as the road, curves - the river can be seen.  I found this info: “The Hundred River is a real river that enters the sea near Kessingland. Divided into numerous streams, it saunters through our countryside, sometimes full and brimming over, sometimes appearing still or dried-up, often bubbling away secret and hidden” and is from a site entitled “The River Hundred Benefice” and the text starts: “THE HUNDRED RIVER BENEFICE is a group of nine Church of England parishes in the north Suffolk countryside, between Beccles and Halesworth.” Link to site.

This could be the river referred to. I only know of this as my father - Kessingland born-and-bred - talked of going fishing there as a boy.

No 2 towns are the same, Lowestoft like every other town, city or village has it's own very interesting features, history and stories. The people who say the town is rubbish and borings have lived here for so long they've forget what the town is special for.

Kessingland does have its sewage works - closest thing you're going to get to a river in the village! Wink
