135 Beach Road, California, 20th October 1977
Holidays always seem to be a time for the discovery of new names (onomastics), the result of being on unfamiliar territory, I guess. Two pubs, the Mustard Pot (Norwich) and the Barking Smack (Great Yarmouth) honour local industries. Norwich also has the Adam and Eve – the toilets are similarly labelled. Lowestoft has a shop called Ann Teak that sells old soda bottles, enamel signs and other ephemera/bygones. And there have been curious street names – Unthank Road, Cucumber Lane and The Loke. In Lowestoft the Scores are a series of narrow lanes and steep pathways running from the High Street to the site of the town’s former beach village. Rant Score has been connected to Christopher Rant who owned property there in the early 1600s.
