• The Museum will help to preserve the history of Southend Pier and provide our visitors with information on why it was built, how it has changed, survived disasters and continued to provide pleasure for many generations. The Pier is part of our cultural and sociological heritage and we are working to preserve and conserve those reminders of happy days at the seaside.
• To display exhibits - some static, some interactive - together with our collection of pictures and photographs to provide access to and facilities for enjoyment and study of those objects.
• To provide a secure and stable environment for the objects in our collection and to conserve each object in good condition.
How you can helpThe Museum is a registered charity and is run entirely by volunteers and unpaid professionals who enable us to keep this important part of our heritage alive. We are always looking for volunteers in all aspects of our work. During the summer months we need help to operate the Museum ie. ticket sales, stewarding, souvenir sales and help to keep the Museum clean. We are closed in the winter months but keep busy preparing for the next season. If you are interested in joining our small but friendly team by helping with documentation, restoration to some exhibits where required, general maintenance and improvements to the interior of the building, please contact 01702 614553 or e-mail us at …………
DonationsThe Museum does not have a regular grant income and funding for 2008/2009 is limited. In addition to the admission fee, we are always grateful for any additional donations, either from individuals or from corporate sponsors.
Items of InterestLike many museums, we have limited display space and cannot exhibit all of our collection at any one time. We are always pleased to receive any donated items that might be of interest to the general public but may not be able to have those items on permanent display.
