Great Yarmouth road names with Great Yarmouth Heritage Guides
Рет қаралды 507
3 жыл бұрынWe often pass road names without much thought, but they can inform us about the past and what was important at the time they were constructed. Great Yarmouth's unique 'rows' for example, had names that often changed.
However, in the 19th and early 20th century, as the town expanded, new roads were built to reflect the people and concepts that defined the age. Take a walk with Great Yarmouth Heritage Guides as we look at a few of them and where those names came from.
Don't miss the Guided Heritage Walks in person when they return in 2021.

Thank u for the fantastic video. Extraordinarily interesting to me. I lived in G.Y. a long time ago, and worked as a bus conductor, so know all the roads u mention. I wonder ... can u tell me ... at 2.0 ... the map shows 'MOAT' along the top. Very odd. Questions - are there still traces of this moat in existence? Second, why build a moat when not far away is the sea ... ie, why not build your defences around the city down to the sea shore each end, like, for instance, the huge defensive forts surrounding Dover?
