AS USUAL WE WILL BE REVIEWING MANY OF OUR DISPLAYS AND REVISING OTHERS. IF YOU HAVE ANY ENQUIRIES, PLEASE EMAIL US AT THE ADDRESSES BELOW. margaretsmit@aol.com or burnhammuseum@outlook.com ****************** https://smile.amazon.co.uk/ch/272936-0 ****************** Our
main fund-rising activies in 2019 were dedicated to raising money to
pay for replacement windows on the upper floor of the original 1912
building. Happily we were able, with the help of the friends of the
Museum, local groups and a grant from the Turncole Windfarm
Community Fund, to carry out our project; the new wood-framed windows
were installed just before Christmas. We would like to thank all those who donated to this project and worked so hard to ensure its success. ************************ If you have any enquiries please contact us by email margaretsmit@aol.com or burnhammuseum@outlook.com |

BURNHAM MUSEUM is a registered charity run by members of the Burnham History Society. BURNHAM MUSEUM aims to reflect the history and development of the town and its people
Our Volunteer Stewards will be pleased to help and to answer questions. Burnham-on-Crouch is on the Dengie peninsular on the North bank of the River Crouch and was for centuries a leading oyster fishery.With the coming of the railway in 1887 new opportunities arose, the foundry was established in the 1890s and the River Crouch was recognised as ideal for the growing sport of yachting. The railway gave fast access for the yachting fraternity as well as transport for commercial and agricultural activities. Boatyards and local traders readily adapted to this new opportunity and yachting remains a thriving activity today. Parking. |
