Hemsby's battle with coastal erosion has been immortalised in LEGO.

But while the tiny bricks tell a big story, the real battle against coastal erosion grows more urgent as winter approaches.

The recreation, crafted by world record-holders ICONIC Bricks, hopes to bring the issue into sharp focus for young parliamentarians gathering in the village this weekend.

It will take centre stage at the Sir David Amess UK Children's Parliament emergency 'Cobra' meeting on Saturday, September 14.

Child prime minister Clark Dearson, 11-years-old, is travelling from Essex to co-chair the event.

He said: “The Environment Agency have used ICONIC Bricks for LEGO recreations before.

"I felt using LEGO for the Children’s Parliament Cobra meeting on coastal erosion will help make the emergency Hemsby residents face more real for young people and get authorities to sit up and take notice.

"People are being made homeless. And there’s no help in sight. Something needs to be done," he said.

Experts from agencies including the Hemsby Parish Council, Save Hemsby Coastline, Hemsby Independent Lifeboat, Great Yarmouth Borough Council and Coastal Partnership East will attend the meeting.

ICONIC Bricks hold the Guinness World Record for the world’s largest LEGO recreation of the Tower of London.

They based the recreation of fly-over footage shot on August 30 for Save Hemsby Coastline by Oliv3r Drone Photography.

The LEGO recreation will be open for the public to view from 10am on Friday, September 13, at House 29 in The Dunes by Lodge Park Homes in the former Pontins site.

In December 2023, the Hemsby coastline lost three to four metres of beach, and five cliff-top houses were demolished. Residents are bracing themselves for a repeat this winter. 

But with no funding in sight for sea defences, the situation is bleak.

The Children's Parliament was set up in 2021 for children aged seven to 11 years old and is named after one of its founders, the murdered MP Sir David Amess
