Maldon's newest tourist attraction has been going great guns.
The Combined Military Services Museum, in Station Road, has been open for a month and many people have been coming to see the collection of weapons and artefacts from centuries of battle.
Curator Marilyn Bullivant has been pleased with the response the public has shown.
She said: "The museum is going very well. Everyone that has been in here has been amazed at the collection and how it has been displayed."
The museum is packed full of artefacts ranging from an Iraqi Type 69 tank captured during the Gulf War to the only surviving MK2 Cockle canoe used in the daring Royal Marine mission to destroy Nazi ships at Bordeaux Harbour.
