About

Southtown and Cobholm lie on the south bank of the River Yare in Great Yarmouth, a short distance west of the town centre. The area mixes terraces and later housing with small commercial streets anchored on Southtown Road and riverside workshops. Along the Yare there are boatyards, small docks and slipways that serve local fishing and leisure craft, and road links and footbridges connect the neighbourhood to the central harbour. Local services include convenience shops, a market presence, schools and community halls that serve a residential catchment rather than tourist flows.

Cobholm occupies a low-lying island created by the Yare and its channels; that geography was a factor when the North Sea flood of 1953 breached defences here. The island layout still shapes street patterns and plot boundaries. Community groups, repair yards and a few light industrial units sit alongside housing, and routes from the area lead quickly into central Great Yarmouth for broader services while keeping the neighbourhood’s riverside character.
