Uploader's Comments

Cromer is a popular seaside town on the north Norfolk coast and is proudly known as 'The Gem of the Norfolk Coast'.

Cromer has an impressive pier that is 500 feet long, built by Alfred Thorne and opened in 1901. The pier was erected to replace two earlier structures that were destroyed by high seas. Fishing plays a large part in the life of this vibrant town. Many years ago mackerel, cod and other types of longshore catches were the mainstays of the local fishermen. But today they catch mainly lobsters and crabs.
