Great Yarmouth Beach

Uploader's Comments

I didn't get a great many shots while in Great Yarmouth, as I'd planned for it to be more of a relaxing trip to the seaside. The Great Yarmouth Tower can be seen off in the distance, this being a large tower built in 1965, being envisioned as an attempt to win back the holidaymakers, who were trading towns such as Yarmouth for the new resorts in the Mediterranean. The plans never came to fruition however, with the building now being deemed a white elephant.
