Lowestoft is a town in the English county of Suffolk. The town is on the North Sea coast and is the most easterly settlement of the United Kingdom. Lowestoft is 110 miles (177 km) north-east of London, 38 miles (61 km) north-east of Ipswich and 22 miles (35 km) south-east of Norwich. Lowestoft is situated on the edge of The Broads system and is the major settlement within the district of Waveney
Some of the earliest evidence of settlement in Britain has been found in Lowestoft and the town has a long history. Lowestoft is a port town which developed due to the fishing industry, and a traditional seaside resort. Lowestoft has wide, sandy beaches, two piers and a number of other tourist attractions. Whilst its fisheries have declined, the development of oil and gas exploitation in the southern North Sea in the 1960s led to the development of the town, along with nearby Great Yarmouth, as a base for the industry. This role has since declined and the town has begun to develop as a centre of the renewable energy industry within the East of England.
Lowestoft is the easternmost town in the United Kingdom. The town lies on the North Sea coast and is located 110 miles (177 km) north-east of London, 38 miles (61 km) north-east of Ipswich and 22 miles (35 km) south-east of Norwich. The town is divided in two by Lake Lothing which forms Lowestoft Harbour and provides access via Oulton Broad and Oulton Dyke to the River Waveney and the Broads.
Lowestoft is a traditional seaside resort, first developing as a bathing site in the 1760s. The coast has been branded the Sunrise Coast. The town's main beaches are to the south of the harbour where two piers, the Claremont and South piers, provide tourist facilities and the East Point Pavilion is the site of the tourist information service. The beach south of the Claremont Pier is a Blue flag beach. Near the town centre is Lowestoft Maritime Museum. A major attraction in recent years was Lowestoft Airshow, founded in 1996. Pleasurewood Hills Theme Park is situated on the northern edge of the town of Lowestoft.
Ness Point, the most easterly location in the United Kingdom, is located in the town close to a 126 metre high wind turbine known locally as Gulliver. At the time it was completed the turbine was the tallest in the United Kingdom. At the most easterly point is a large compass rose, the Euroscope, set in the ground which gives the direction and distance to various cities in Europe. Belle Vue Park is the site of the Royal Naval Patrol Service memorial. The central depot for the service was in Lowestoft when it was mobilised in August 1939 on a site known as Sparrow's Nest adjacent to the memorial. The memorial has the names of the 2,385 members of the service who died in World War II.
Lowestoft Lighthouse, located to the north of the town centre, was built in 1874 and stands 16 metres tall, 37 metres above sea level. Lowestoft Lifeboat Station is located at the mouth of the outer harbour at the South pier. owestoft Town Hall stands on the High Street. Various forms of local government have met or been based on this site since the establishment of a Town House and Chapel here in 1570.
Lowestoft railway station, originally known as Lowestoft Central station, is centrally placed within the town, within walking distance of the beach and the town centre. Buses in Lowestoft are mainly operated by First Norfolk & Suffolk and Anglian Bus with Lowestoft bus station as the hub for routes.

Dredging Aircraft Wreckage from the Sea Bed
As it rose higher still, we made out the huge, inflated outline of a rubber tyre, attached to what was clearly a large section of aircraft undercarriage. When finally hauled aboard, this mass of rubber and metal took up most of the rear deck. I knew where I had seen that shape before. It clearly belonged to a Dakota DC3, the aeronautical veteran that had made its first flight on December 17th 1935, some six months after I was born. I felt a distinct sense of kinship with the Dak, then still in service with minor airlines virtually all over the world. I had travelled aboard those twin-engined Gooney Birds many times, when they comprised the bulk of the Malayan Airways fleet. But whence had this one come? And what had happened to it?
We scraped off some of the barnacles encasing the main supporting rod of the undercarriage structure and were amazed to find the metal underneath so little touched by corrosion that it was virtually unblemished. We also discovered a serial number, of which my friends in the fisheries department took due note in the hopes of tracking down the identity of the aircraft to which it had belonged. The only record of a DC3 crash in Hong Kong dated from April 9th 1951, when weather conditions had deteriorated on the final approach of a Siamese Airways Dakota into Kai Tak airport.
The crew had decided to divert to Taiwan, but had learned that Taiwan had closed due to bad weather, forcing their return to Hong Kong. They attempted a night-time visual approach beneath a four hundred foot cloud base, but ended up in the sea, with the loss of all five crew and eleven passengers. Given as probable cause of the crash was the finding that The captain allowed the aircraft to lose flying speed while attempting to turn quickly in order to avoid flying into higher ground during the approach to the airport in darkness and rain. But the Kai Tak approach lay well to the north of Hong Kong Island. Could even just a part of the debris have carried so far south as the East Lamma Channel? My companions shrugged. Given the fifteen years that had elapsed since the crash, the strength of tidal drift etc., it was just conceivable . . .

The Great Great Uncle of Producer & Writer Matthew Lightstone.
A Brief History
Pte. Ralph Howells, born 20th November 1898, eldest son of Blanche and Thomas Howells came from a modest mining family in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire.
Attending school in their local village of Lydbrook, Ralph would have left at a young age to start work in one of the several coal mines that were dotted along the valley.
At the age of 16 on the 5th December 1914 Ralph enlisted at the Drill Hall in Hereford, volunteering for overseas action. Like many young men at the time Ralph would have been captivated with the heroic status he would gain fighting for his country and the chance to travel abroad, anything to escape the dangerous job of coal mining.
Due to Ralph's mining experience he spent the majority of his army career in Britain with the 2nd (Reserve) Battalion The Herefordshire Regiment, where he started in Aberystwyth, moving onto Billericay where he helped build North London defences and then ending up in Lowestoft in November 1915.
Ralph was then transferred to the 1st/5th Battalion The Cheshire Regiment on the 27th July 1916 and left from Southampton the same day.
As a Pioneer Ralph's job was to build and repair sections of trenches throughout the night. During his shift on the 8th September 1916 Ralph and four other men who were working in a communication trench were buried alive when a shell fell into it. Ralph's body was never found and he was reported missing presumed dead.
Ralph was only 17 when he was killed yet his memory lives on. He is commemorated on the Thiepval War Memorial in France and in his local town of Ruardean.
