EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Glance into the Past: Coastguard Station and Promenade, Cromer, North Norfolk - Circa 1905" In this evocative photograph, we are transported back in time to the quaint coastal town of Cromer in North Norfolk, circa 1905. The image captures the Coastguard Station and Promenade, a vital part of the town's rich maritime history. The Coastguard Station, an essential element of the town's safety, stands proudly on the cliffside, overlooking the expansive sandy beach and the North Sea. The station was manned by dedicated volunteers, who ensured the safety of the public and the protection of the coastline. Their unwavering commitment to lifesaving was crucial, as the town of Cromer was a popular destination for bathers and holidaymakers. The promenade, adorned with elegant Victorian huts, stretches along the coastline, offering shelter and respite from the elements for those enjoying the seaside. The huts, a familiar sight in British coastal towns, were an essential part of the seaside experience, providing a place to store belongings and enjoy a refreshing cup of tea. In the foreground, we can see the Rocket House, which now houses the RNLI Henry Blogg Museum and the Rocket House Café. Named after Henry Blogg, the most decorated lifeboatman in the RNLI's history, the museum pays homage to the town's illustrious lifesaving heritage. The Rocket House Café, with its stunning views of the sea, is the perfect place to enjoy a delicious Cromer crab salad while reflecting on the town's fascinating history. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when the Coastguard Station and Promenade were at the heart of Cromer's bustling seaside community. It serves as a reminder of the importance of the RNLI and the vital role that volunteers play in ensuring the safety of those who visit our coastlines.
