About us
The Cart and Wagon Shed is a Grade II listed, iron-frame military building constructed in the 1860’s. It sits at the heart of the historic Shoebury Garrison site close to Gunners Park and the Thames Estuary.Our vision is to create a heritage and community centre that is a transforming presence and inspirational hub for heritage interpretation, community activity, local collaboration and volunteering – bringing new life to the local economy and providing a compelling offer for visitors.
