A 3-DVD Collection of David Webb's East Coast documentary films.

Walton's Secret Water

Duration: 75 minutes

Format: DVD region-free, PAL (playable on most PC's and Mac computers)

An affectionate and evocative portrait of the area, beautifully filmed, with a lot of gorgeous aerial photography. The Arthur Ransome connection is prominent from the beginning to the end, with scenes of the Old Gaffers Association’s annual ‘Swamazons’ dinghy race round Horsey Island ('Swallow Island in "Secret Water"), and interviews with the Nancy Blackett Trust's President Peter Willis and author Julia Jones aboard, respectively, Arthur Ransome's former yachts Nancy Blackett and Peter Duck. Narrator Chris Opperman lends humour with his commentary, and at one point demonstrates splatchers.

David Webb unapologetically extends his area of coverage to include Pin Mill and the River Orwell, with some beautiful sailing footage of Nancy Blackett. If you love the Walton Backwaters, Nancy Blackett, or anything Arthur Ransome, you will adore this DVD.

A Journey Through Constable Country

Duration: 80 minutes

Format: DVD region-free; PAL (playable on most PC's and Mac computers)

This film takes the viewer on an exploration of the countryside that inspired John Constable, visiting the landscapes, towns and villages that he loved around the Stour and Orwell estuaries and further afield in Suffolk and Essex.

Narrator Victoria Lampard (from ITV News Anglia) conducts us through Dedham and Dedham Vale, East Bergholt, Flatford and Stratford St Mary, to Roman Colchester, Wivenhoe, Brantham, Manningtree, Mistley, Lawford and Harwich, then up into Suffolk, via Pin Mill to Ipswich, Nayland, Stoke by Nayland, Hadleigh, Kersey, Boxford, Lavenham, Long Melford and Sudbury.

Portrait of Harwich

Duration: 80 minutes

Format: DVD region-free; PAL (playable on most PC's and Mac computers)

This film is an affectionate look at the ancient seaport of Harwich, home of the legendary Mayflower that took the Pilgrim Fathers to the New World.

Mostly shot during the summer of 2019, the film shows the Harwich Arts and Illuminate Festivals, the Secret Gardens, and international shanty singers on the River Stour, while also recalling memories of wartime Harwich and the 1953 floods.
