The photographs are from school and playgroup visits between 2006 and 2009. The Fire Service and Lifeboat exhibitions were popular for 2006. For 2007, you could dress in a Roman toga. Kids' Corner was in Nelson's cabin for 2006 and in a Roman Temple for 2007 - it is a work area and has puzzles to encourage further exploration of the Museum.

The visit by Plume School, Maldon, on 2nd March 2009 was rather different to the other school visits. In this case the students were doing a GCSE Leisure and Tourism project and were visiting the Museum primarily to see how it is run.
