Great Yarmouth town hall.

May 13 2008: Under a skeleton of scaffolding high above the streets, work is continuing to restore Great Yarmouth town hall.
Urgent repairs are taking place re-roofing of the monument to Victorian civic pride that has stood grandly on the waterfront for more than a century.
Under protective sheets tiles are being stripped off rotting timbers cut out and ageing stonework repaired after decades of damage from the elements.

Wellington pier
