There has been a pier or jetty in Cromer since 1391. Letters granting the right to levy duties for repairs suggest that attempts at maintenance seem to have gone on until 1580. In 1582, Queen Elizabeth I granted the right to the inhabitants of Cromer to export wheat, barley and malt for the maintenance of their town and towards the rebuilding of the pier. The last wooden jetty was built in 1846 and, described as a plain wooden structure and was just 70 yards long. By night, it was regulated by several bylaws: for instance, smoking was only allowed after the hour of nine o'clock when ladies would be expected to have retired for the evening. Gales later damaged the jetty again so much that it had to be dismantled and Cromer was left without a pier. This brief spell of emptiness spurred the 'pier commissioners' to consider a more fashionable structure, and it was in 1901 that the new pier opened. There is a new addition to the pier, the lifeboat station, which was relocated, and a new extension built at the end of the pier.
