Alan Crosby describes the area as historically "a landscape of long sandy shorelines, lonely and elemental; wave-battered crumbling cliffs, slipping and sliding every winter as the sea gnawed away the soft material at their base...." The real catalyst for Sheringham's emergence as a resort was the arrival of the railway in the late 19th century, and his essay describes the town's growth.
