Might be Boer ones, plenty of those came back from South Africa.
You're quite right: even a partial photo of some burghers to the right of them.
“There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”
There's plenty of places to Eat & Drink in Maldon, there's Maldon High Street or pop down to Heybridge Basin where there's the Jolly Sailor and the Old Ship pubs both right on the sea wall. The Jolly Sailor does really nice pub lunches.
Highly recommend a Pint of Maldon Gold
Heybridge Basin also has the Tiptree (Tiptree Jam) Tea Rooms with views over the estuary
I know, semantics. The right spelling is 'burgers', or 'burger' singular.
As the Pythons would say, "that's gonna cause a bit 'of confusion; do you mind if we call 'em burghers to keep it straight?"
“There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”
I live just up the road from Maldon and it's my favorite museum, they used to have a Cheiftain tank outside with the distinctive Berlin camoflage, sadly now gone.
Also, can confirm everything Simon P said, just would add that if you like seafood try the Maldon Smoke House, it's tucked away by the riverside.
Visited today, very enjoyable trip. Highlights were the X8 SLRs, Enfield XL64 IWs, Stoner 63 LMG config. and a Trials 4T on display.
The collection of british fighting knives is also impressive.
The whole place is very well presented indeed.
