Original Narrative: CROMER is a fishing village, situated near the north-eastern extremity of the county of Norfolk; it lies about 129 miles north-north-east of London, and about twenty-two miles nearly due north of Norwich. The view in the engraving is taken from the sands, looking to the westward. About a year and a half ago, part of the cliff, with two or three houses beyond those which are now seen standing on its extremity, fell down in consequence of the encroachments of the sea. At that time a subscription was entered into by the inhabitants of the place, and by several of the neighbouring gentry, for the purpose of forming a break-water; for without some such protection it is apprehended that at no very distant period many more houses, with the fine old church, will fall a prey to the violence of the sea. Cromer is much frequented in summer by visitors for the sake of sea-bathing, for which the fine sandy beach to the eastward affords great convenience. Cromer is a place of very little trade, and is chiefly dependant on the fishery. The population in 1831 was 1232. Cromer light-house stands on an eminence, about three quarters of a mile to the eastward of the village. It is a revolving light, and is visible, in clear weather, at a distance of five or six leagues. It appears in its brightest state once in every minute, and then gradually becomes eclipsed.
