The image displays a large, angled information board featuring a historical illustration and accompanying text, set against a backdrop of weathered brickwork. The illustration, a detailed painting, depicts a historical street scene in what appears to be an old English town. Key elements of the illustration include traditional brick buildings with multi-paned windows, a prominent horse-drawn cart with large wooden wheels, and several people engaged in everyday activities. One building in the illustration has visible text advertising "GREAT YARMOUTH ALES - GINGER BEER - PORTER," and a person is visible looking out of an upper window. The text on the information board provides historical context for Great Yarmouth, specifically referencing its "Rows district." Notable events and dates mentioned include: "1827 - Body Snatchers in Yarmouth (Row 3 and 6)," "1845 - The Suspension Bridge Disaster, 58 people from the Rows died," "1892 - Palmers store destroyed by fire," "1898 - 12,000 persons recorded living in Rows district," "1899 - Rows 15 and 16 absorbed into Lacon's Brewery," "1902 - Row 1 demolished to build Rampart Road," and "1925 - Row 74 made way for the Victoria Arcade." The illustration is credited to "Paul B. Patterson," and a "Photo reference Courtesy of Paul Godfrey." The sign is mounted on a red brick wall, and above it, an arched brick ceiling or structure is visible, suggesting the sign is located in a covered public space such as an underpass or archway. The overall scene provides a glimpse into the rich history of Great Yarmouth.
