The house they acquired as a summer residence (called Cliff House) had been built in 1848 by Holland T. / The Methodist Church, or Chapel, at Corton was built in 1873 and opened the following year / 22 September, 2023 |

In many ways, this is a sorry sight - both in terms of seeing such a fine building boarded up and also of considering how it ministered to the Lowestoft area’s medical needs for just over 130 years. / The hospital opened in 1882 and closed down completely in 2016, having originally been built on an undeveloped site between Tennyson Road and Alexandra Road to replace the Infirmary of 1839 / 22 September, 2023 |
