Cromer Pier

Cromer Pier is a Grade II listed seaside pier LinkExternal link . The pier is the home of the Cromer Lifeboat Station and the Pavilion Theatre.
In 1902, the pier was completed and opened to the public. The pier was designed by Douglass and Arnott and the construction was carried out by Alfred Thorne. The pier is 450 feet long and cost £17,000 to build. In the early years the pier consisted of glass-screened shelters and a bandstand on the end of the pier. The shelters were roofed over in 1905 to form a pavilion; the bandstand was later replaced with a stage and arch.

Cromer Church :: TG2242

The Church of St Peter and St Paul has the highest church tower in Norfolk. It is 160 feet high and served as a navigational mark until 1719 when the first lighthouse was built.

The steps to the top of the tower become very high and steep when you get near the top, so, although the climb is worth it, it is not for the weak or faint-hearted.

Cromer :: TG2242

Cromer is a coastal town in north Norfolk. The local government authority is North Norfolk District Council, whose headquarters is in Holt Road in the town. The motto "Gem of the Norfolk Coast" is highlighted on the town's roadsigns.
