Southtown and Cobholm is an inner‑riverside neighbourhood of Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, England, sitting close to the town centre and the mouth of the River Yare. The area incorporates the low‑lying Cobholm Island and features a mix of Victorian terraces, post‑war council housing and riverside industrial yards where maritime trades were once concentrated.
Long associated with fishing, boatbuilding and dockside work, the locality has experienced economic change and periodic flooding, which has driven pockets of regeneration and active community organising. Its proximity to the seafront and the wider tourist economy of Great Yarmouth sits alongside a strong local identity and neighbourhood initiatives aimed at tackling social and economic challenges.
