Lesley Burke, 58 from Bradford said: “We went to the Cromer one, but it was all boarded up. So sadly we did not see it ourselves. We think it is interesting and it is a good thing, it is also saying something with it. We came all the way from Bradford to look at it, so it is going to help tourism.”
