Visitors From Sheffield
Visitors to Great Yarmouth from Sheffield came in and really enjoyed the pub and added it to a personal best pub list, which was nice. Conversation revolved around the struggles of English town and they were so impressed by the Greater Anglia train and the views as it approached Great Yarmouth. See video from yesterday's journal post to experience the view.
