One of the largest ships to be seen in the region ever, arrived carrying Gt Yarmouth's two new cranes, for the Outer Harbour, built over the last 3 years. This photos was taken from the top floor of a house in Cliff Hill, from where the Gt Yarmouth Harbourmouth webcam operates from dawn to dusk each day.

Brush Quay is the name of this bend in the River Yare, as it turns out to the North Sea. The bend is too tight for large ships, though the oil/gas rigs ships do come in here. The new Outer Harbour, operating from February 2010, is just to the north of the river mouth, the entrance to the Norfolk Broads.
A Dutchman used brushwood, I believe, to make the river turn away from the coast and this idea worked, while others were washed away - back in the 1500s.
The lighthouse has a working light still.
Behind is Cliff Hill where the Great Yarmouth Harbour mouth webcam is based - see www.GorlestonDP.co.uk - it shows the sea view, reverse of this picture.
