Shoring sea defences, Cromer (2015) Print by Peter Long

The storm surge which slammed into England's East Anglian coast on the night of 5/6 December 2013 was actually higher than the devastating surge of 1953. I visited Cromer in August 2014 and found work gangs all around, still struggling to repair holes in the sea wall and rebuild the box office and theatre on the pier. Clearing up after sea storms is one job that will never disappear in Blighty.
