18th March 2024 and the sun is alone in a clear blue sky. Two buses take us south across the county border to the seaside town of Southwold. Please join us…

The church of St Edmund the Martyr. St Edmund (one-time patron saint of England until the Macedonian St George was adopted during the Plague Years) was an East Anglian king killed during the first Viking invasions.
And Southwold’s second icon: The Lighthouse

Perhaps we should accord the pier as the town’s third icon

And the beach huts, its fourth. Though no English resort worth the name is without its huts: a place to shelter from our all-too-frequent abrasive winds

These canons surely are the town’s fifth icon

The sky is blue…and so is the sea. But we’re heading down to the harbour. It’s only a small river, but that harbour is busy…

Looking seaward…looking landward, and the neighbouring village of Walberswick

Small boats, yachts and cruisers line both sides of the river

While some, big and small, have been hauled ashore

Oh dear, time to return across the common to the town for a fish and chips lunch and to catch the bus home

Hope you enjoyed. Sorry I can’t share my lunch with you…

It’s so funny to see a lighthouse in what appears to be the centre of town instead of off by itself on some cliff 🙂
Love those beach houses!

Perhaps the houses were built around it? I agree, it is weird. Makes it a bit of a challenge to get a decent shot of it too

I can well imagine. And yeah, the image of a lovely lighthouse is lost here. 😊

However, the purpose of the lighthouse is for its light to be seen at sea…and it is
