The historic port of Mistley in Essex has been blighted for the past 12 years with a 2-metre high fence which appeared, with no consultation, all along the quay...130 metres. All the barges and little boats that used to come could no longer dock, no more crabbing, no feeding of the swans and the view of the estuary from the old cottages on the quay was forever pixellated. This is the story of how a community fought back. We hear from Nancy Bell, Head Housekeeper of the Grayson Perry house at Wrabness, James Christopher ex-film critic of The Times, Dame Edme Beverage (aka William Meston) keeper of the Grapevine Inn, ex-lawyer Simon and Bettina Bullimore, joint driving force of the campaign, Dina Southwell artist, Sherri Singleton proprietress of The Mistley Thorn and other highly talented members of the cast of the pantomime, long in the making, 'The Curse of Foggy Quay' written and directed by James Christopher.
