Cromer is a coastal town in Norfolk and is a popular British holiday destination, with its beach, pier, arcades, and famous Cromer crab.

We first learnt that Cromer was to be a location in the book from a Twitter header photo J.K. Rowling uploaded, showing the coastline and pier.

One of the bench shelters along the Cromer Pier features on the cover of The Running Grave, with the figures of Strike and Robin in the foreground.
Below are some of our photos of Cromer, but of course we don’t yet know specifically where in Cromer the story will take us.
