Suffolk, and therefore Lowestoft, is on the east coast of England and are among the first places to see the sunrise. The town is located on what is known as the Sunrise Coast. The motto "Point du Jour" means daybreak. Thus the sun at the base is a reference to this. The arms of [[Suffolk]] also show a rising sun. | |||
The roundels on the chevron represent porcelain plates to refer to an 18th century factory in the town. Their product is much admired and collected. The factory has no mark, but many bear the words, "A trifle from Lowestoft." | |||
The Tudor roses, the crown and the crest are a reference to Saint Margaret of Scotland, the town's patron saint. She already appeared on the old seal of the town, as can be seen on the pre 1913 postcards. | |||
