Views at the seafront

By Richard Dade

Gorleston
This selection of photographs records recent scenes of Gorleston and with the planned outer harbour construction the view towards the power station at South Denes will be very much different in the future.

The night view with the fireworks is taken from beside the yacht pond and celebrates the finale of the Cliff Top Gala held on the cliff tops at the end of July.

A view of the river depicts a tranquil Gorleston with the lighthouse a landmark of the town.

The yacht pond is another landmark by which visitors recall their visit to the seaside town and many have spent hours sailing model yachts. Enjoyment to be had by both young and old.

The rainbow shown in the photograph was a wonderful sight over the river (September 27th 2007).I captured this photograph using my mobile phone.

Great Yarmouth and the eastern coast was at the centre of national news when the storm and tidal surge hit the area at around 0745 on 9th November 2007 with a potential for serious flooding on a scale like the floods of 1953. The photographs of the sea were taken at around 1030 on that morning with waves breaking over the pier.
