ac., pop. 19,696 ; 4 Banks, 3 newspapers. Market-
day, Wednesday. Not long ago Lowestoft was a quiet
fishing station, but it has now become a thriving and
important town, chiefly on account of the impetus
given to its industries by the construction of a harbour,
piers, and docks, and by the extension of the railway.
These improvements have given life to an extensive
shipping traffic, while the fisheries, for which the port
has long been famed, have risen to great importance
and value. (For shipping statistics, see Appendix.) On
the cliff is Lowestott High Lighthouse, 53 ft. high,
with revolving light 123 ft. above high water and seen
16 miles, and on the Ness, ½ mile distant, is Lowestoft
Low Lighthouse, 48 ft. high, with occulting light 40
ft. above high water and seen 11 miles. The new dock
(covering between 10 and 11 acres), opened in 1883,
with its fish market, is used by drift-net boats ; while
trawlers have accommodation at the old dock and fish-
market. Lowestoft occupies the most easterly point of
land in England, and is much frequented for its bath¬
ing. The herring fishing is its great industry, con¬
nected with which there are boatbuilding, sail making,
and rope and twine making. There are also large oil
mills, flour mills, and coach works. Lowestoft was
made a municipal borough in 1885.
