The Friends of the Museum have been able to provide a short video on the prehistory of the area as part of the Deep History project. It looks back to the discovery of the West Runton mammoth in 1990, its prompt reporting to Cromer Museum, and the subsequent excavation by the Norfolk Museum Service and their colleagues. View the video here.
