North Lowestoft Men's Shed has applied to Network Rail for the ex-Chadds, ex-Menzies building in Denmark Road.

They want to turn an unloved run-down building into a vibrant, green, community building. It was built sometime in the 1890's, so it has considerable historic interest, as well.

North Lowestoft Men's Shed think it's a perfectly sound building, ideal as a men's shed project.

Network Rail think it's only fit to demolished.

Use It All, Lowestoft Old and Now Community Website, Food Savvy/Suffolk Recycle, Most Easterly Community Group, Friends of Dip Farm and Lowestoft Town Council all had stalls under the Triangle Sails on Saturday the 18th September 2021.

Lowestoft Heritage Open Days Week seems to have been a tremendous success, again. An amazing amount of effort and work put into it right across Lowestoft, mostly by volunteers. An astonishing 115 events were listed.

From the 20th October our meetings will be open to all interested in the idea of a Shed in North Lowestoft.

Meetings will be Wednesdays 3 - 5pm at Reutilise Paint Community in Whapload Road.

North Lowestoft Men's Shed is trying hard to get access to a building on Denmark Road, which looks perfect for a Shed.

We've got a bid in with Network Rail – it's hard to tell how this will go. 

Sorry about this, Shed people, but tomorrow's get together for this week is not happening. Too much cold around. Re-convene next week. In the meantime, we are awaiting news on land and premises. Though it may be a bit of a wait...

The North Lowestoft Men’s Shed has been in dialogue regarding the unoccupied former Great Eastern Railway Stables building on Denmark Rd. North Lowestoft Men's Shed first looked inside the building a year ago (March 2021).

From over 20 interviews with people living on the Broads, Booming Voices is a new play that aims to capture the magic of this iconic landscape and explore its possible future. Fusing real voices, music and science this show will tell a new, unheard story of the Broads.

In the height of the pandemic, Jen, a young student, is isolating in her home on the edge of a watery haven, while her tutor in the US is exploring the impact of climate change. Together they explore the iconic wildlife and nature of the Broads, showing us just how vulnerable this seemingly timeless landscape is.

The Grit is an ambitious new centre for the arts and heritage just getting under way. Art and sculpture, arts events, evening performance, cinema, and community activities, and Heritage Centre.

John Reay was an excellent artist who lived for many years in Lowestoft, recording its life and landscapes. Visitors to the exhibition at Another Angle Studios on Battery Green Road will spot many local places, especially on the seafront. He worked mostly in pastels, screenprints and oils.

Local designer, Joe Thompson, gave this games room an oriental look using a projector and a steady hand.

Having chosen the design, he then projected a negative image (top tip: so you don't draw round shadows!) onto the wall. A steady hand then drew around the outline (top to bottom to avoid smudging). 

Once done it is then a matter of filling in with paint - Job done! Time taken 20 hours and 30 cups of tea
