A striking photograph by Ford Jenkins of 11 London Road N., Lowestoft. ‘Grimsby’ is hand-written on the back of the photo. Lowestoft trawlers often operated from Grimsby so the location could well be correct.
The trawler on the left is LT.336. We believe the name to be ‘Coast Breeze’. She was scrapped in 1957.
“On Joe Nickerson page Paul. Just checking you got a comment through ok.”

“A very interesting read: 'Roots in the Soil: An Adventure in Agriculture' (1987) is actually a biography detailing the life and work of the prominent British agriculturist Sir Joseph Nickerson, written by the well-known agricultural journalist and author Ralph Whitlock.”

“Note: James William Eason was mayor of Grimsby in 1914.”

These boats are all operating as herring drifters, as opposed to trawlers.
