Where: Sheringham

When: Daily from 12pm to 4pm (except Sunday from 1.30pm to 4pm)

The multi-talented Peter Coke had a number of jobs in his lifetime: he was an actor, a playwright, an army officer and even an antiques dealer for many years following that.

However, after his retirement in the 70s, he began collecting sea shells and using them to make extraordinary decorative sculptures.

His death in 1998 at the age of 95 left behind a striking collection of these art pieces in the forms of many different abstract objects from pagodas and castles to flower arrangements and gardens.

Inspired by 18th century sailors' valentine sculptures, this gallery is an ideal place to visit near the seaside when the weather has turned and will fascinate those of all ages.
