Lowestoft, the most easterly town in the United Kingdom, was established as a fishing village in the early 14th century but the decline in the fishing area has seen a substantial decrease in the number of vessels fishing from our town. It now has a thriving tourist industry with close links with Great Yarmouth making it a popular holiday destination for holidaymakers.
Lowestoft has a population of around 60,000.
Economy and Employment
The main bulk of employment is found in the tourism and manufacturing industries, with Bird's Eye Walls being the largest employer.
