Crossing Cottage and the Cottage Garden and museums open to visitors every Tuesday, 10 a.m. to 12 noon from Easter until October. Tea/Coffee & biscuits available at £1. Entrance is Free and donation is always welcomed to help maintain the site.

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. The Trevor Bright Railway Museum is also open by appointment. To book a special visit telephone 01255 674678 the Railway Archivist, Tony Barrett, on 01255 674678.
