Coast: Mobile resort walk

Take our award-winning interactive walk in Great Yarmouth, created for the TV series 蘑菇短视频 Coast.

The wall is one of the UK's best preserved examples, but it was once the town's deadliest enemy.

Point 4 - Row 114

Charles Dickens may have been impressed by the town's rows, but residents weren't as enthusiastic.

Rats, no toilets and hard labour were just some of the harsh conditions Tolhouse prisoners endured.
