Here are some more images of the outstanding, well preserved architecture to be found in Yarmouth.
It is unusual to find in a relatively small place such a wide range of styles within a few blocks of each other.
One of the explanations is many of the houses were built by wealthy sea captains who were inspired by what they saw in their ports of call.
The quality of construction and the size of the houses reflects the powerful position of Yarmouth on the sea trade routes in the hey day of sail.
