Fig. 3.28 P680290 (1907) Harmer's geological excursion to Norfolk. A view of Cromer pier
with its historic Concert Theatre. A substantial buttressed groyne has been built at right angles to
the beach to block the eastward movement of sand and shingle by longshore drift; a marked
contrast is seen between the shingle on left and the sandy beach on right with several children and
a lady apparently digging with small spades for shell fish. (CP13/050 Reproduced by permission
