Lowestoft in olden times
Transcribed from the [1899] edition by David Price
"Lowestoft in Olden Times" by Francis Davy Longe is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work details the origins and development of the town of Lowestoft, emphasizing its connection to the nearby town of Yarmouth, particularly concerning the herring trade. Through lectures compiled from historical records, Longe explores various aspects of Lowestoft's past, including its geological beginnings, economic evolution, and social structure. At the start of the book, the author sets the stage for discussing Lowestoft's historical significance by linking its development to geological changes and agricultural practices in the region. He discusses the town's early status as a small agricultural village and contrasts it with the rapid growth it experienced in the 14th century, primarily due to the fishing trade and competition with Yarmouth. By providing insights into the town's governance, its trade activities, and the impact of historical events like the Black Plague, the opening portion establishes a foundation for understanding how Lowestoft emerged as a notable trading hub on the East Anglian coast.
