The Highlands was situated on Beccles Road. This pub was originally a private house. During WW2 it was the HQ of the 106th Regiment of the Royal Artillery and housed the gun operations room for the Yarmouth and Lowestoft anti-aircraft area. It was converted into a pub in 1951 and closed in 1984. It became a vets, after closure, but the vets have since moved to the larger, nearby, closed pub The Magdalene Arms.

We are the owners and converting it into 4 flats, we have changed the address to 1-4 Highlands Apartments, 221 Beccles Road.... as a nod to its history as a pub.
