It follows a young girl abandoned during a fishing season to grow up on the desolate Norfolk coast.

The Herring Girls historically were a group of woman who worked alongside fisherman following the herring from Scotland to Norfolk.

Ms Garton said: "I am always shocked there is not more being filmed in Norfolk as there is so much variety here."
