Figure 11.5 Cromer sea front in August 1941. In the foreground planks
have been removed from the pier to prevent it from being used as a landing
stage, with a temporary footbridge providing access to the lifeboat station at
its end. To the left of centre is a Type 22 pillbox camouflaged as an ice
cream stand. Above it on the walkway is an additional gun emplacement. A
second pillbox is built into the sea wall immediately to the right of the pier.

Figure 11.7 The 4.7 inch coastal battery at Happisburgh, as
mapped (above) and in 1941 (below). In 1941 the two gun houses
were camouflaged as haystacks (the haystack in the field behind is
genuine). Also on the photograph, a Type 22 pillbox is almost
completely hidden at the junction of two hedgerows. On the mapping
concrete and masonry buildings are shown in purple with barbed
wire defences and other structures shown in lilac. RAF photography.
