EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the charming seaside scene of Cromer's seafront as it appeared around the turn of the 20th century. The quaint houses and church tower, nestled behind the beach wall, add character to the scene, while a fishing boat rests in the foreground, reminding us of the town's rich maritime history. Cromer, located on the beautiful East Coast of England, is not mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, making it a relatively new settlement. The place-name Cromer is first attested in a will of 1262 and could mean "Crows mere" or "lake." The town's growth as a popular seaside resort began in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, with the construction of the pier and the opening of the railway line in 1834. The photograph's date of circa 1900 provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the quaint charm of Cromer's seaside community. The church tower, with its distinctive lantern, stands proudly in the background, adding a sense of history and tradition to the scene. The beach wall, which runs along the edge of the frame, protects the town from the elements and the rough North Sea. This photograph is part of the Boswell Collection, which features a wide range of images documenting life on the East Coast of England during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It offers a fascinating insight into the past and the evolution of this charming coastal town.
