Middlemiss Cottage Maldon ......a part of our heritage
  
Prior to the discovery of gold in 1853, the town of Maldon did not exist. Over the next 50 to 60 years, a vast amount of gold was extracted from Maldon's mines. By the time of the 1st World War, however, gold mining in Maldon was in decline. One by one the mines closed, until the last (the North British) ceased operations in 1926.
After the major gold mines had closed, many residents of Maldon moved away. There was very little to sustain the town in a commercial sense, and it fell into what has been described as a "gentle decay". Maldon never became a true ghost town, but at one time its population fell to a mere 300 people.
Today, Maldon is recognized as a unique example of a Victorian gold-era town that is little changed from the way it was at the end of the 19th century. People visit this charming town for a variety of reasons, but relaxation, enjoyment, and romance are often high on the list. Those who are fortunate enough to secure a stay of a night or two in Middlemiss Cottage are well placed to experience all those things.
The information concerning the cottage described on this website has been provided by the property's owner, and is subject to change at any time, without notice.
