More about this scene

In this remote corner of Essex, close to the Wardroom, the Wallasea Bay Ferry plies its trade. The floating jetty we see here has disappeared, to be replaced by a more substantial structure, but large chunks of the original wood still litter the marshes. Across the River Crouch lie Burnham and Creeksea. On the left of the picture we can see three fuel pumps with a wind sock flying above.
