THIS AFTERNOON we welcomed CARL MERRY, the TALESPINNER from Wickford who joined us for the first of a new series of ESSEX TALES. The first story was a rather sad poignant love story set on Canvey Island. The story and the central character, Lucy, may have been the basis of MISS HAVERSHAM from Dickens’ 1861 novel, GREAT EXPECTATIONS.
Listen to Carl’s story again here: – Essex Tales 5th November
See you again next week,
Scott
