A pier in Norfolk has been closed due to "adverse weather" conditions amid a weather warning for snow and ice. 

Cromer Pier has made the decision to close the box office, gift shop and the Pavilion Bar.

It comes after the Met Office issued the county with a yellow weather warning for snow and ice which is in action until midnight tonight.

A spokesman for the Met Office said: "After the unsettled Christmas and New Year period we are now seeing an abrupt change to much colder weather with temperatures below average for January.

Parts of Norfolk are already beginning to see snowfall with heavy snow in Great Yarmouth and Caister beginning to settle on roads.
