Artworks honouring the coastal heritage of a North Norfolk town have been reproduced as five major pieces on display in Sheringham.

Artists Tom Armes and Mick Bensley, celebrated for their depictions of the seafaring heritage of North Norfolk, have had their works reproduced and displayed at a boathouse site featured in their art.

The paintings and drawings depict the working life at a boat builders, run by the Emery family, which built traditional wooden craft for local fishermen between around 1850 and the 1960s.

Reproductions of the works have been unveiled at 1, The Old Boathouse in Sheringham, which is today converted from the former premises and serves as holiday accommodation.

Mr Armes, who spent the latter part of his life living and working in Sheringham, was commended for his depictions on British Rail posters which publicised the resort.

Mr Bensley, a Sheringham native, initially embarked on a career as a graphic designer until his love for painting prevailed.

The families of the late Mr Bensley, who passed away last year, and Mr Armes' son gave their permission for their artwork to be reproduced.

The reproduced art pieces are the handiwork of Lisa Little and Tim Groves, who meticulously worked on the copies from the original pieces found in the Sheringham Museum collection.

 Chris Dyer of North Walsham undertook the expert reproduction.

The artwork complements a public mural of boatbuilding at the same site unveiled in 2022, undertaken by community artist Colin Seal and which is already on public display at the front of the building.
