Picture 39 - Geldeston Lock.

GELDESTON LOCK. The most enjoyable feature of this district is the river. Starting from Beccles, and passing Roos Hall en route, a pleasant short row brings the oarsman to Dunborough Hills, a charming little spot. The river divides a little further on, at which point pike fishermen frequently disport themselves. Following the trend of the river to the left, Geldeston Lock is reached. Good catches of perch are sometimes made in the overshot, but permission to fish must be first obtained of the lock-keeper. Once or twice a week the Lowestoft to Beccles excursion steamer extends its journey to Geldeston Lock.
