Venue Description

Come and explore this museum housed in a converted Victorian herring curing works and take an exciting journey. Discover Great Yarmouth's fascinating history and contemporary life, its rich maritime and fishing heritage, some of the colourful characters who made their living from the sea and the people who live in Yarmouth now. Wander through a Victorian 'Row' and see inside a fisherman's home. Experience the heady atmosphere of a 1950s quayside, take the wheel of a coastal Drifter and hear gripping tales of wreck and rescue on the high seas. Follow Great Yarmouth’s transformation from a sandbank to the present day, through times of boom and bust, war and peace, to the multicultural town of today.
