A lovely little informative museum of an era now lost. This is a free museum open to all and shows the layout of an old fisherman's cottage where he and his family lived. The rooms are set up as they would have been with original fittings and furniture.Take a step back in time and enjoy this little museum as you stroll through Leigh and have a pint in the local rub-a-dub and remember how difficult things were back in the day.
It was a very informative museum about how they lived in the community near the estuary
Quintessentially English. 300 years of village fishing history in a restored cockles house. Beautiful heritage gem in a chocolate box working village. A must see. Knowledgeable and helpful volunteers. Apparently, people from all over world travel here to trace family history.
Nice shop annex small museum near the seaside at Leigh-on-sea. It has a traditional fishermens cottage attached decorated in historical style.
Loved it. Very interesting. Great host who knew everything about the history and smugglers at leigh on sea. Old fishing house great too.
