Beccles Quay c1905. I can’t make out the name of the trading wherry in the photograph, but it looks as though one of the name boards reads “Lowestoft”.

This postcard of Beccles, looking upstream towards the bridge was posted in 1906. The road bridge was built in 1881 and replaced the original medieval three arch stone bridge which had fallen in to disrepair.
