Black Street occupies a quiet expanse of Suffolk earth where the air holds the faint, salt-tinged promise of the North Sea. It lies 4.5 miles south-south-west of Lowestoft (from Lowestoft: bearing 210°T, OS grid TM 514 868), and is situated west of Kessingland village. Low, sprawling fields define the horizon here, broken only by the sturdy lines of hedgerows that mark the ancient boundaries of the parish. To the south, the damp, reed-fringed basin of Latymere Dam captures the low-slanting afternoon light, reflecting a pale sky onto the surface of the marsh. Residents of Black Street often walk the quiet lanes toward the nearby Gisleham Manor Moated Site, where the remnants of a medieval earthwork speak of a long-standing human presence upon this clay soil. The land possesses a muted, functional beauty, dictated by the rhythm of the seasons and the slow drainage of the surrounding meadows. Throughout the day, the distant, muffled calls of exotic animals from Africa Alive drift across the intervening pastures on the wind. Black Street remains a place of understated character, where the horizon remains wide and the silence is rarely broken by anything more than the turning of the soil.
