Bunting and beach scenes

15 May, 2023

Last Thursday saw Greetings from Lowestoft in the Community Room at the Kirkley Centre, where we made sea-themed bunting for the railings around the pocket park on London Road South and then at Windsor Care Home on Cliff Road, where residents chatted about growing up in Lowestoft and made beautiful postcards to celebrate the town’s popularity as a seaside resort.

Long strips of blue and green felt and silver netting laid out on a table ready to be made into bunting

Buttons and beaches

A woman stands with a length of bunting stretched in front of her as she loops more strips of fabric on to it to create bunting

Looping on the bunting

A brown postcard collaged with pink latticed paper, strips of tape and an image from an old postcard saying Greetings from Lowestoft. Small wooden fish, a shell and a seahorse are glued on top and the card has a border of green sequins

Sea-quins

Snippers of various vintage postcards have been used to create this postcard, showing people on the beach at Lowestoft. There are also two wooden fish in the bottom right hand corner, framed by pink tape and some pink scraps of doily in the top left corner.
