"An intriguing glimpse into the past, and the life and home of one woman."
Overview
It seems to be just a humble cottage with a well-kept garden, but Mrs Smith's Cottage is a time capsule that has captured the live of one Hilda Smith, who lived here for decades between the 1920s and the 1990s. The cottage is rooted in its time but it's not all about looking back. Hilda was a principled and determined woman who was always interested in young people and the future. A fascinating place to visit.

Much of the fenland around the Wash has been drained of its marshes and reclaimed as highly productive farmland. Further north, the coastline, with its sandy beaches, has been developed to accommodate the holiday industry, with caravans, campsites and the usual seaside paraphernalia.
