This is the slipway at Cromer, now used mainly for the crab fishing boats. The lifeboat used to launch from here, but was relocated to a brand new lifeboat station at the end of the pier.

Crab are a large part of the income of the town of Cromer. Historically the crab were only caught in the summer months, in autumn the fishermen brought Herring to the town, and winter cod was the main catch. This has now changed to solely bringing crab and lobster to the town. The Cromer Crab in particular are known for their tender flesh, and high proportion of white meat to dark. The fleet has reduced to about a dozen boats, looking after about 200 crab pots, meaning that it is even more of a specialty!

This was quite difficult, it was in a dark corner. Steam fire engine. 1905 Shand Mason & Co. York Castle Museum have a 'Double Vertical' with a split livery. On one side it reads "Rowntree & C0. Ltd Fire Brigade, while on the opposite side it reads "Gosforth Council". The town owned until 1913 when it was sold to the confectionery firm.

When the Chrysler Airflow hit the streets in 1934, it was like nothing the American motorists had ever seen before. The airflow made use of new metal technology and streamline design to reinvent the car as a total design concept. Its in-line eight cylinder engine was suspended over the front wheels, its passengers cocooned between the axles, giving the smoothest ride on the market. The Airflow was everything we now take for granted in a car. Perhaps that's why it was a design classic, and a commercial flop. The american public was not ready for such a radical design, and it ceased production in 1937. In Britain they were sold as the Chrysler Heston, and were assembled at Kew, near London.

A total of 4 horses and 64 men were needed to put out fires using this fire engine. Built in 1894 for the Leeds and Yorkshire Insurance Company. It needed the horses to pull it, and 2 teams of 34 men to pump the water.

The Austin 7 was a vintage car produced from 1922 through to 1939 in the United Kingdom by the Austin Motor Company. Nicknamed the "Baby Austin", It was one of the most popular cars ever produced there and wiped out most other British small cars and cyclecars of the early 1920s[1], its effect on the British market was similar to that of the Model T Ford in the USA. It was also licensed and copied by companies all over the world The first BMW models (BMW Dixi) were licensed Austin 7s, as were the original American Austins. In France they were made and sold as Rosengarts while in Japan Nissan also used the 7 design as the basis for their original cars, though not under licence After World War II, many Austin 7s were rebuilt as "specials" including the first Lotus, the Lotus Mk1 which was based on an Austin 7. Such was the power of the Austin 7 name that the company re-used it for early versions of both the A30 in 1951 and Mini in 1959.

Greyfriars Bobby was a Skye Terrier who became known in 19th-century Edinburgh, Scotland, after reportedly spending fourteen years guarding his owner's grave, until his own death on 14 January 1872. A year after the dog died, the philanthropist Lady Burdett-Coutts had a statue and fountain erected to commemorate him. Several books and films have been based on Bobby's life, including Greyfriars Bobby by Eleanor Atkinson and the films Greyfriars Bobby (1961, Walt Disney Productions) and The Adventures of Greyfriars Bobby 2006 Bobby belonged to John Gray, who worked for the Edinburgh City Police as a night watchman, and the two were inseparable for approximately two years. On 15 February 1858 Gray died of tuberculosis. He was buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard, the graveyard surrounding Greyfriars Kirk in the Old Town of Edinburgh. Bobby, who survived Gray by fourteen years, is said to have spent the rest of his life sitting on his master's grave. A more realistic account [citation needed] has it that he spent a great deal of time at Gray's grave, but that he left regularly for meals at a restaurant beside the graveyard, and may have spent colder winters in nearby houses. In 1867 when it was pointed out that an owner-less dog should be destroyed, the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, Sir William Chambers (who was also a director of the Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), paid for a renewal of Bobby's license, making him the responsibility of the city council. Bobby died in 1872 and could not be buried within the cemetery itself, since it was consecrated ground; instead, he was buried just inside the gate of Greyfriars Kirk-yard, not far from John Gray's grave. Today, a small statue of Greyfriars Bobby stands in front of the Greyfriars Bobby's Bar, which is located near Greyfriars Kirk-yard. The statue originally faced toward the graveyard and pub but has since been turned around, allegedly by a previous landlord of the pub so that the pub would appear in the background of the many photographs that are taken each year. A red granite stone was erected on Bobby's grave by The Dog Aid Society of Scotland, and unveiled by the Duke of Gloucester on 13 May 1981. It reads: "Greyfriars Bobby — died 14th January 1872 — aged 16 years — Let his loyalty and devotion be a lesson to us all.
