It is a scenic coastal village that is proud of its heritage and links with the North Sea.

And now the merits and history of Weybourne are all there to see thanks to the restoration and relocation of its village sign.

Weybourne has unveiled its new look village sign which has been given a fresh lease of life and some TLC by local artist Fiona Davies.

It pays homage to the area with a steam train, windmill and farming and fishing featured.

Weybourne Parish councillor Penelope Taylor said: "The original village sign, unveiled in 1986, was very brown and in need of some TLC.

"You can now see the steam train, the church, the windmill, the sea and fishing, farming, the Augustine Priory plaque and a hint to Poppyland.

"Our new MP Steffen Aquarone kindly agreed to unveil it and was welcomed by a large number of locals and visitors.

"The sign was taken to Fiona Davies, a local artist, who was able to give it new life."

The sign also highlights the village's long coastal heritage and its connection to the North Norfolk railway.

The original post and plinth of the sign were deemed unusable, so the decision was made to relocate the sign to a more prominent position near the village bus shelter.

The restoration and relocation have made the sign more visible to the public.
