Gorleston Sea Wall falls down - a dramatic archive
Gorleston Beach - damage to corton cliffs

All the photographs on this page were provided by Bernard Harris who works for Great Yarmouth Borough Services.
We are grateful to Bernard for allowing us to use these photographs which are a stark reminder of what awaits us if the seawall fails.
As always, after destruction comes reconstruction which is also represented.
