Cottage Museum

Crossing Cottage Museum and  the Cottage Garden is now open to visitors every Tuesday, 10 a.m. to 12 noon, until October. Tea/coffee & biscuits available. Come and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the garden. Gardeners are on hand to answer any questions about the plants. Also plants, surplus home grown produce together with local history books, cards and prints will be for sale.

Once occupied by the keepers of Frinton’s iconic railway gates, today Frinton's Crossing Cottage houses an impressive selection of artifacts and archive material that tell the story of the local area in surprising detail. 

Situated in a well-maintained cottage garden, the grounds also include a wildlife area and information board. In 2009, the railway signal box was moved into the Garden and became another exhibit housing a snapshot of railway technology in a bygone age.
