Cromer Lifeboat

Mission accomplished. Home in time for tea....
These guys do a fantastic job.


Cromer lifeboat station is an RNLI station located in the town of Cromer in the English county of Norfolk[1]. The station operates two lifeboats - one for inshore work and the other for offshore work.

The current lifeboat station on the end of Cromer pier was re-built in 1999 to replace the smaller older one which was re-located to Southwold in Suffolk where it is used as a lifeboat museum. Cromer Lifeboat station is one of the most famous of all the lifeboat stations operated by the RNLI[2].

There has been a lifeboat service operated from Cromer for two centuries - predating the establishent of the RNLI. The volunteer crews at Cromer have gained a record of gallantry stretching back to the beginnings of the RNLI. Some of the most notable rescues and service have been carried out by famous coxswains such as Henry Blogg and Henry "Shrimp" Davies and their crews. To date there have been awards of 45 Bronze medals, 8 Silver medals and 3 Gold medals.
