Fellows Shipyard and Dry Dock
Photographs of Fellows Shipyard and Dry Dock, Southtown, Great Yarmouth
By Laura Matthews
The yard was established and the first dock was built be James Lovewell. After his death in 1824 the business passed into the hands of the Fellows family. In later years the company was owned by the coastal shipping firm of FT Everard & Sons Ltd. The yard was sold to Richard (shipbuilders) Ltd in 1970 and is still open for business today. The site has changed little over the years; click here to see photographs of the shipyard in 2007.
