Learn with a Group

A typical visit will start with a short talk by one of the experienced Museum volunteers followed by an oppportunity for people to investigate the Museum further.

The photographs and videos will appeal particularly to those out to enjoy a ‘nostalgia fix’ from the golden age of Southend.

The building itself is of particular historic interest as it used to house the  engineering workshops

Visitors will have plenty of time to explore the museum after the presentation.
