"Great Yarmouth also benefited from fishing, especially during the 19 century when there was a spectacular boom in the herring industry.
The fishing finally fizzled out in the 1960s, but the timely discovery of gas and oil deposits off the Norfolk coast helped mitigate the effects and have since made the town a major base for the offshore gas industry, second only to Aberdeen for North Sea Oil" (Andrews et al. 2006).
Do you see the offshore gas and/or oil fields in the picture?

The first time I saw them, I thought windmills, too.....
