This
interesting fishing port was transformed into
a holiday resort in the 19th
century after it was unwittingly popularised
by wealthy landlubbers from places like
Norwich. A little later the journalist Clement
Scott described the area as ‘poppyland’. The
local lifeboat museum adds atmosp and provides
plenty of evidence of sea-going interest.
Outside is a statue of Cromer’s real-life
local hero, Henry Blogg, who won three RLNI
gold medals, equivalent to the Victoria Cross.
