Here are the updates, corrections, and additions to the site.
October, 2016
25 October I've added more images to all sections. The Military section and the Places sections have been added.
I've also added to the Before and After section. I've found a large collection of photos of more fishing vessels from
the '60's and 70's and I'll be adding more. Added more fishing boat information from the
Port of Lowestoft Society records, up to LT0160.
1 October Added to the
Sports section and the
Schools and Education section. Added more fishing boat information from the
Port of Lowestoft Society records, up to LT0120.
Started a section called People
to cross reference people listed in the site to make it easier for researchers.
Move the entire site from one hosting company to another,
which was a royal pain and caused the site to go down for a week as the domain was moved.
26 August Finished the Community Calendar and now it's just all upkeep on that. I went to the Suffolk Co. Archives today and did a bit more on the Lowestoft Port register. I'm up to LT0081; only 1119 more to go! It's very slow going because I can only work from the actual book and am not allowed to take note/photos to work from. I'm still waiting for a reply from the Lowestoft Port Research Society (owners of the register) for the correct attribution. Once I get that in I'll update the attribution. I have a few more photos to upload that have come in during the last week.
24 August I've uploaded a complete copy of the London Illustrated News of the building of St. John's Church in Kirkley
Card K0499 I've also worked on the Scots Herring Girls page a bit. Now there is a fascinating and neglected bit of local social history! I've been asked to work some more on the local events and clubs calendar and so that will be new project. If you are part of a club, etc. and want your events and meetings put on a community calendar, please drop me a line.
3 August Added the a map of WW2 bomb damage in Lowestoft. Added a bibliography and started a glossary of terms. Started the Lowestoft photographers section.
9 July Got my laptop back from the repair shop and added a backlog of images in the card section.

16 July Added the Map section and now I'll start uploading my maps and plats of Lowestoft.

9 July Got my laptop back from the repair shop and added a backlog of images in the card section.
