Hi Just to add to Rob's last post, we are definitely interested. Next week we will post a summary of information we have gathered so far. It can be a bit confusing because of the changing building numbers. If you would like to get in touch with the Crossing, please have a look at the website (which will shortly be updated with info about our quest. www.crossingleapcentre.org.uk  Cheers John (aka mulberry - and if anyone knows about any local connections to the Mulberry Harbour D-Day project I'd be interested to hear from them - my Grand dad was an engineer working on it)

@ Ian53 if you don't mind me asking, how do you search for your data? It sounds quite well buried, especially the part from a London Gazette.

Rob,

I find the London Gazette is a very good source of information, both recent and historic. I have found some very interesting facts and figures.
Give it a try, you can browse for free http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/

Thanks for the link to the Gazette, after doing several searches myself I can appreciate the effort required to get the information you need.

Please keep any further information coming, this is all really useful.

A brief discussion with Ivan Bunn resulted in the following: Barnards Yard has always marked the beginning of the High Street on the west side, tho on the East it used to start at Bluebells and the pub was in Old Nelson Street. Barnards Yard was where Artillery Way is now. The Crossing is still very interested in any information about the building, including memories, photos, and newspaper cuttings. At the moment, there is a wild plan to run a timeline all round the windows with photos etc where appropriate, and include major Lowestoft events in the area - does anyone have any pics of the building of Artillery way, for example?

Re posts regarding the Lowestoft Sub Control Centre - now no more - does anyone have any knowledge of a Public House called "The Rotterdam" which apparently stood on or very near this site

I have never heard of a Public House called The Rotterdam in the area but Rotterdam Road runs south from that roundabout.

There is a Public House in Rotterdam Road called Mariners Rest, formerly The Lacon Arms, which I guess may have been The Rotterdam at some time.
