Charles Dickens used Yarmouth as a key location in his novel 'David Copperfield' and described the town as "the finest place in the universe"  (was he insane, or am I confusing him with somebody else?)The author stayed at the Royal Hotel on the Marine Parade while writing the novel. Personally I think he stayed there because he liked a curry.

Along the seafront is a Victorian seaside Winter Garden in cast iron and glass. The cast iron, framed glass structure was shipped by barge from Torquay in 1903, ostensibly without the loss of a single pane of glass. However it has now fallen in to disrepair, and if I were the owner I'd be looking for a pyromaniac to help me with a forthcoming insurance claim.
