Brightlingsea in pictures

Remember Prunella? Former Brightlingsea resident Nigel D'eath sent us this picture of Prunella, which many will remember being moored in the creek. Nigel's father, Arthur, used to maintain the boat, which is now based on the Norfolk Broads. Prunella featured briefly in the film Dunkirk and recently won first prize at Henley Regatta for best engines.
