Right Up Your Street (Video Poem) by Dean Parkin

'Right Up Your Street' is a video poem by Dean Parkin, celebrating Lowestoft's High Street and Scores. Commissioned by the North Lowestoft Heritage Action Zone, Dean gathered memories and stories - past and present - via local interest Facebook pages to create the poem and film.
The 10 minute video poem also includes over 60 rare archive photos, many from the Jack Rose Collection, and modern day location filming by Joshua Freemantle. 'Right Up Your Street' was produced by Naomi Jaffa and is a Poetry People production (2020).

Brilliant, thanks Dean.
Love to stroll along the High Street, so many beautiful old buildings.

[@bridgetflint3785]

Love this one too. All those shops I used to visit. And many good times at the Crown. Thanks again Dean for an excellent poem and snapshot of this part of Lowestoft.

Fab, Dean!

Very intresting . My great, great, granmother use to live there further up the street in row houses on the left before the lighthouse. they were pulled down, and the relive road was built. I can remember going there in the 60,s. the lighthouse use to flash all night at the bedroom window. I can remember lots houses still standing that had been bombed during the 2nd world war. The old houses from the fishing village.down the bottom off the score,s. If im correct they were almost covered in the great floods. At night walking round the fishing docks open to walk round back then. And still had the swing bridge then.
