The Archive Hour: The Roaring Boys

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Gone are the days when the fish dock at Lowestoft,
Suffolk, was waist deep in herring. The work was hard and dangerous but a community depended on it. Half a century on the industry has all but disappeared. Ivan Howlett draws on the recorded experiences of generations of fishermen to chart the changing fortunes of a port and a way of life. Producer Nick Patrick
