Great Yarmouth's South Quay opposite the museum - where the victorious Nelson landed. |
The museum has attracted interest from people living in Japan, Australia and America. The trustees hope the opening of the museum will raise Great Yarmouth's profile as a cultural and historic town. The author Daniel Defoe described South Quay as "the finest quay in England if not in Europe" and more than £1.3 million has been spent on restoring the area over the last three years. "Yarmouth has some beautiful heritage and buildings, and a fascinating history," said Faith Carpenter. "People only see the bucket-and-spade and arcade bit of Yarmouth. But if you come and have a look at the buildings there are some lovely things to see here. "This is a good heritage cluster area. What we're hoping is that people will come over here for the day, visit a museum in the morning and another in the afternoon," she added. Top Exhibits >>> |
