The Rows of Great Yarmouth (in person)

IN-PERSON EVENT

Great Yarmouth once had over 147 narrow alleyways, called Rows, dissecting its medieval town. This talk explores when the Rows were created, and why the street pattern remain unaltered for over 1,000 years. The large families living in the rows often experienced their fair share of misfortune, especially during the First and Second World Wars. Stuart moves on to explore the stories of several families in detail, especially during the years 1850-1945.

Refreshments will be available 10 minutes before the talk starts. Feel free to grab yourself a cuppa and settle down for an interesting 45 minutes.
