DESCRIPTION

In East Sussex Tori explores the wreck of a ship that went down in the 1740s complete with its cargo, and uncorks a bottle found on board, still full of 18th-century red wine. She discovers a prehistoric well shaft that is now on the foreshore but 2000 years ago would have been inland. And she investigates the story behind a harbour that was intended to serve the village of Rye. It took 63 years to build and then closed down after only four months.
