Mersea Museum has a large collection of images, mainly of Mersea Island
and the surrounding area.
Those shown here are a small sample.
The images are divided into categories - click on
a Category to view a selection.
Each year, a selection of the images with an accompanying audiocommentary form an audio-visual display that is run when the Museum is open.
If you can add to the information we have about an image, such as the names
of the people, the place or the date, please
Email us.
The collection is always increasing thanks to the kindness of may individuals.
If you have photographs that are suitable for our collection, we would be
pleased to hear from you. We can just take a digital copy of a
photograph and return the original to you.
The images above are copyright Mersea Island Museum unless otherwise stated.
