The Mersea Island Museum is an independent museum
established in 1976 and occupying purpose-built premises in the centre of
West Mersea, just to the east of the Parish Church. The traditional local
activities of fishing, oystering, wild fowling and boat building are
represented. The reconstruction within the museum of a typical
weather-boarded fisherman's cottage provides an interior display centred
on a Victorian coal-fired kitchen range, with adjoining facilities for
washing clothes using old-fashioned manual equipment. |

StroodCam |
StroodCam uses the latest camera technology to
allow you to see live video of The Strood, West Mersea, Essex. Now we can
all check to see whether or not the traffic is crossing.
Mother Nature doesn't always pay attention to the tide times and tidal
height predictions - meaning that sometimes the Strood is passable at high
tide when the tide table says it shouldn't be and vice versa. Hence
StroodCam. |
