Location
Whapload Road is a street located in the town of Lowestoft in Suffolk, England. The road runs in a north-south direction and is approximately 1.5 miles long. It starts at the A12 roundabout in the north and ends at the Bascule Bridge in the south, which crosses the River Waveney and leads to the neighbouring town of Oulton Broad.

Whapload Road is a busy thoroughfare and is lined with a variety of businesses, including shops, restaurants, and pubs. There are also several residential areas along the road. One of the notable landmarks on Whapload Road is the Marina Theatre, a historic venue that hosts a variety of performances, including plays, musicals, and concerts.

Overall, Whapload Road is an important part of the town's infrastructure and is a popular destination for both locals and visitors. Historically, Lowestoft was a fishing town and port, with a thriving industry based on herring fishing. However, in recent years, the fishing industry has declined, and the town has become more focused on tourism and services.

Lowestoft is known for its long, sandy beach, which stretches for several miles along the coast. The town also has a number of tourist attractions, including the Lowestoft Maritime Museum, the East Anglia Transport Museum, and Ness Point, which is the most easterly point in the UK.
