SEAMS COACH TRIP TO MUSEUM OF POWER, LANGFORD ESSEX

For our Autumn day tour we will be travelling in a luxury modern coach to Maldon in Essex.

The day will start with a couple of pick up points to suit those going and when everyone is aboard a direct route will be taken to our first visit of the day, The Museum of Power. Housed in a former 1920s Pumping station, the museum contains a fascinating collection which ranges from a working belt-driven machine shop to a petrol powered iron. The jewel in the crown is the ‘Lilleshall’ triple expansion steam pump now back on steam after 50 years. Then perhaps relax in the Steam Pump Tearoom housed in the former machine shop and enjoy a light lunch or a coffee and a slice of homemade cake.

After ample time to look round and to have a bite to eat it will be all back on board the coach, and weather permitting, for the short trip to Hythe Quay Maldon. This is home to the largest collection of Thames barges and you can often see one being restored by the quayside or on blocks having its hull maintained.

Coach and museum entrance fee £26. A non-refundable deposit of £10 per person secures your place.
