Wheels of Time Essex

Meet Roamin’ Rex.

Rex has been travelling through time for many years before he landed in Essex. He has roamed the land with cavemen, marched with the Romans, cultivated the land with 16th century farmers, and cycled through the Victorian period.

Hello! I’m Roamin’ Rex, the time traveller. Let’s discover Essex’s fantastic museums and heritage venues together.
