Geocache Description:


This is my first cache! I wanted to make a series of caches taking you on a walk up our historic highstreet. :) so what better than the red herring trail! This trail oringally takes you up and down the 11 remaining scores of lowestoft, each having a small plaque at the top giving you a breif description of the history of each score, although i wasnt able to place a cache on every score i highly recommend following the original trail and you'll be able to get the rest of the caches along the way! 

if you would like further information on the history the 'lowestoft old and now' website has a section on the lowestoft scores, i have posted snippets of the relavent scores from their site on here but its definately worth reading the full thing (theres a video with it too).

Anyway! for this series youre looking for a pill container type of cache, please return where you find them! happy finding! :)

HERRING FISHERY SCORE

Herring fishery score has previously been known as porters, christchurch or nelson score. ChristChurch, the most easterly church of the British Isles stands at the bottom of this score. Christ Church was built in 1869 for the residents of the beach village and as a monument to Rev. Francis Cunningham. The lowestoft central school was also sited at the bottom of this score. This was a grammar school which was bombed during WW2.
