I'm moving to Lowestoft on the 1st of February, mutual exchange and I can't wait. My son is so excited to go swimming, the cheap cinema and going to Pleasurewood Hills. I love the sea and I'm hoping to engage with the Lowestoft Players, the best amateur theatre group in Suffolk and Norfolk as they always win the amateur drama nominations
A Lowestoft boy from 1954 (Pakefield) enjoyed the video... many of the High Street shops as I knew them were no longer there...Morlings, Co-oP, Odean Cinema. Now in the USA...5 stars to the video
I am trying to reply to a Mike Mills who I went to school with in Lowestoft...apparently not getting the message through to the right person@@YarmouthMark
I love Lowestoft. Hello from Ipswich. Funny enough, I've never been that far up in town, only around the beach front. Need to explore more of Lowestoft when I'm there next time
Shame about the Post Office closure in that lovely old building. Speaking for myself, although some businesses have gone like other towns, it's gratifying to see London Road North still bustling and full of locals, long after holidaymakers have gone. (November 2023)
I’d like to live there. Feels like it will be the same in 50 yrs. I dont like big cities. I live in Southend now but it’s way to busy and population rapidly shifting
You mean the muzzies are moving in? We were thinking of Southend to move to but as an 80s East End and Essex lad I'm sure it ain't the same as it was in the 80s or 90s...
Thanks for the video Was raised in Lowestoft since birth ( 1980 ) and left in 2008 to live abroad I'm amazed to see how much has changed in the almost 16 years I've been living abroad seen another video of a guy driving into Lowestoft and confused the crap out kf me it had changed so much haha The town and sea front seems very quiet where are all the people I've never seen it that quiet before Not many businesses left either from what I can remember before see Iceland and poundland still there and WH smiths Wow anyway thanks for the video a nice catch up kf me old stomping ground
I plan to do more Yarmouth videos Paul. The Marina centre is open now after a complete rebuild. I'll take a walk down there this week and post. I'll also be doing other Yarmouth vids too.
Well that video has made me think.....Now I remember why I don't visit Lowestoft town centre anymore....a sh*t hole!, Won't be going back to look anytime soon! But thanks for the insight!
