Cromer is having its sea wall protected by what is known as rock revetment. This is basically lots of very big boulders (pink granite?) placed at the base of the existing wall. The work is being carried out to the west of the pier along the Promenade. It took some photos looking down on the rock piles. I noticed in one of the three half circular promontories which act as viewing areas, a large block of concrete. It is waist high and about two metres wide. I don’t know its purpose but was drawn to the irregular markings on its surface. It presented a strange and compelling pattern, probably due to weathering and frost (?). I have placed that at the top of the picture above the two bands of rock placements. The propeller was (is) an outdoor exhibit at the Windermere Jetty Museum – my homage to William Turner’s red daub which became a buoy in his Royal Academy picture. The fixed tables were outside the Beach Terrace Cafe on the seafront in Yarmouth.
