About Fencing in Lowestoft
Lowestoft in Suffolk is the easternmost town in England, standing on Lowestoft Ness, the most easterly point in the whole of the United Kingdom, and it began life as a Danish settlement before growing into one of the country's most important fishing ports. Through the 18th century the town became a major centre for curing and exporting herring to the Baltic states, and at the peak of the industry an estimated 400 million herring were landed there every year, drawing seasonal fishing fleets from as far afield as Scotland and the Netherlands. The Port of Lowestoft itself dates back to the early 19th century, when it was built by the Lowestoft and Norwich Navigation Company, with the original Inner Harbour completed in 1831 to connect Lake Lothing to the sea, and the arrival of the railway in 1847 spurred rapid growth as both a fishing port and a seaside resort. Today the port's economy has shifted away from herring towards general shipping and offshore wind energy infrastructure.
