Fishing boats and fish workers from Peterhead in the North East of Scotland once travelled each year to Great Yarmouth following the migration of the herring. There they gutted the herring and packed them with salt into barrels. Much of the catch was exported to Eastern Europe and Russia.

Looking weatwards along this rather splendid shopping arcade - see [[2714810]] for the view of the frontage where we are standing.

The arcade has been well refurbished but there are quite a number of empty shops.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Great Yarmouth has many of these Rows. They date from medieval times and quite a few still remain, especially off King's Street.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Christchurch in Dene Side was built as a Congregational church in 1854, the architect being Robert Kerr of Norwich. The Congregational and Methodist denominations in Yarmouth united in 1989 and the building was altered to create a chapel for worship on the upper floor and meeting room on the ground floor.
