Cromer Seafront at night, Norfolk, July 1984

This one doesn't bear close scrutiny I'm afraid, scanned from a matt print - I can't find the neg.

 

Taken one night in July 1984 from the garden of a rented holiday cottage in Cromer, looking at the illuminations along the seafront. These were strings of coloured lights attached to old concrete lamp posts which no longer had their tops. I had hoped to catch the lights over the crazy golf course to the left of the coloured lights, which consisted of a network of household bulbs strung all over the course from posts, but I was too late and missed them and it was our last night.

 

Also notable is the yellow sodium main road lighting along the seafront road, now falling from favour all over Britain. This scene is now completely changed in all probability.
