Lowestoft Beach - "Sunrise Coast" on the dawn of the millennium
This picture shows some of the people of Lowestoft (most easterly town in the British Isles) waiting to see the sun rise across the North Sea on 1st January 2000. Being at the far east of the country, this coast (depending upon the time of year) is often the first to receive the rays of the rising sun. The tourism local authority use the title of "Sunrise Coast" in their promotional literature.
This particular sunrise was definitely the "morning after the night before". A proportion of the people here slept on the beach following the 40000 strong millennium eve party that had taken place a few hours earlier. (Seemed like a good idea at the time!)
Plaque at Centre of The EuroScope, Ness Point, Lowestoftness, Lowestoft, Suffolk
Lowestoftness is the most easterly point of the British Isles. This auspicious site is marked with a gas holder, frozen food factory, the town dump and a relatively small commemorative piece: the Euroscope. The Euroscope is a large flat indicator set into the concrete of the sea wall structure showing directions and distances to various places. In the centre of the Euroscope is the above plaque. Since this photo was taken (December 2004), the Tallest Wind Turbine in the UK has been built near this point - a long over-due structure to be proud of at one of the cardinal points of these islands
Ness Point, Lowestoft Ness, Lowestoft, Suffolk - Most Easterly Point in the British Isles
A view looking east from Ness Point from the position of the (then) future Euroscope (see supplemental picture). This photo was taken soon after sunrise on Easter Morning 1990. A groyne (characteristic of the coastal defences in this area) points defiantly towards Europe like a finger, marking the easternmost point of the kingdom.
Terraced Houses in Riverside Road, Lowestoft
A row of Victorian terrace houses in an industrial part of Lowestoft. These houses are right outside the gate of one of the larger factories (visible in the background): the Co-op canning factory (now no longer in operation). Interestingly, the doors are all painted "Co-op blue", so these may've been factory owned at the time.
Local Council Plaque marking the Easterly Extremity of the British Isles.
Mounted on the sea wall adjacent to the Euroscope.
The Euroscope at Ness Point at Lowestoft
The most easterly point in Britain. I was cycling from Lands End to John O'Groats but taking in the four cardinal points of the British mainland too. Lowestoft is well off the sensible route from LE to JOG, if there is such a thing! The Euroscope is a nice touch - pity it's hidden away behind an industrial estate!
Lowestoft Promenade

Lowestoft Ness
This imposing looking structure which stands immediately behind the Euroscope at Lowestoft Ness is not in fact a tourist attraction but part of a new water treatment works
Harbour wall
The harbour wall with the lighthouse on the end just makes it into TM5592.
Fountain at the north end of Marine Parade
One of those fountains that consist of several jets that turn on and off apparently at random. Children were playing among the jets as the sun set.
Lowestoft inner harbour
The statue of a fisherman silhouetted against the evening sky on the end of the bridge over the entrance to the inner harbour.
