Tiptree

I met J today and we went to the Tiptree Tea Room, Museum and Jam shop. The museum was really interesting, telling the history of the company. It had some of the machinery from the past, such as a machine for shredding oranges and a labeller. The family were keen supporters of the Crab and Winkle Railway. This ran from Kelvedon and Tollesbury and had a station at Tiptree.

We did of course sample their jam with a toasted tea cake!
