Former use of Time & Tide museum site

By Sarah Woods

In 1850 the Tower Curing works was built on Blackfriars Rd in Great Yarmouth. It provided fish curing on a large scale, converting what was a small scale 'home-based' function before, but with various changes to the fishing industry within Great Yarmouth, larger scale curing capabilities were needed. John Runniff Nutman was the founder of the works, which continued to work after herring ceased to be landed in the town.

The following are various pictures through the times, of different workers in the curing works and the buildings themselves.

The derelict tower curing works became the site for the Time & Tide museum in 2004.
