Discover the Maldon District's Brave Little Ships of Dunkirk โ›ต

Dive into the remarkable history of the Maldon District's "little ships" and their heroic role in the Dunkirk evacuations during the Second World War. Four vessels embarked from Burnham-on-Crouch on a daring mission to rescue nearly 600 soldiers from the perilous beaches of France. ๐Ÿšค๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

The oyster smack 'Vanguard', now awaiting restoration, is a testament to the town's indomitable spirit.

The yacht 'Ma Joie' braved the treacherous journey only to meet her fate on Dunkirk's shores.

The oyster smack 'Sea Salter' returned from the ordeal, later to be broken for scrap.

The yacht 'Chantecler', built in Burnham, still sails today as a pleasure vessel in The Netherlands.

Join us in honouring these vessels and their crews' bravery. Visit the memorial on the Quay and learn more at the Burnham-on-Crouch & District Museum.

From this Friday, Essex will be the host for the RideLondon Classique and RideLondon-Essex event ๐Ÿšด

To ensure the safety of everyone taking part in RideLondon-Essex, road closures are necessary.

No area will have road closures on more than one day, and we've minimised closures wherever possible. The exact duration depends on the event.

For the Ford RideLondon Classique women's race, expect road closures around the start and finish venues each day. Temporary closures along the route last around 30 minutes, reopening after the last rider and support vehicles pass.

This will be for Saffron Walden and Colchester of Friday 24 May and Maldon on Saturday 25 May.

On Sunday 26 May, for the Ford RideLondon-Essex challenge rides, full road closures ensure participant safety. Roads will reopen as soon as it's safe after the last rider passes.

For full information on road closures and access plans, visit the RideLondon website.
