More about this scene
Cromer was one of the most fashionable resorts for gentlefolk in late Victorian Britain. The story of the town as a popular holiday destination began when the railway arrived in 1877. Most of the hotels and holiday apartments were only made possible after portions of the Cromer Hall estate were sold from the 1880s by Benjamin Bond Cabbell with the intention to develop Cromer as a seaside resort. Most of the buildings in the foreground were less than 10 years old when this photo was taken. To the right in the background, the old wooden jetty stretches out to sea. Partly washed away and severely damaged by a storm in 1897, it was replaced by the pier in 1901.
