What a great little museum. We found the information and items to look at so interesting and loved being able to see the fisherman's cottage. The volunteers were informative and friendly. Definitely worth a visit.

Leigh Heritage Centre & Museum is a wonderful place to learn about the history of Leigh-on-Sea and the local fishing community. The museum is small but very interesting, with informative displays, historical photos, and artefacts that show how the town has developed over the years. The volunteers are friendly and knowledgeable, and they help make the visit enjoyable and informative. It’s a great place to visit if you want to understand the local culture and heritage.
