Although not the first to build a lighthouse, Lowestoft is distinguished by having the longest established light station in Britain. In 1609 the corporation of Trinity House created a pair of lights “for the direction of ships which crept by night in the dangerous passage betwixt Lowestoft and Winterton”. They were rebuilt in 1676, one positioned on the cliff top, the other on the foreshore. These became known as the High Light and Low Light.

In 1847 entrepreneur Samuel Morton Peto brought the railway to Lowestoft and by 1850 his new harbour was completed. Fresh fish caught by the Lowestoft fleet could be transported daily to cities as far away as London and Manchester. Trains also brought holiday visitors to Peto’s new town resort, built in the rural parish of Kirkley, south of the harbour and along the south beach.
