Mersea Island Museum

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 centered 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.
