Maldon
Maldon is a town on the Blackwater Estuary in the English county of Essex. It comprises the seat of the Maldon District and the beginning of the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation. In accordance with the 2011 Census, it has a population of around 14220. Proof suggests that East Saxons made their initial settlement in the area in the course of the 5th century and it rapidly emerged as a main Saxon port with a hythe or quayside and artisan quarters. Historical evidence has indicated the success of the port, uncovering objects such as imported pottery, and it is thought that from 958, there was the establishment of a royal mint issuing coins for the late Anglo-Saxon and early Norman kings. It was one of the first two towns in Essex, with the second being Colchester. According to the Domesday Book of 1086, there were 54 households and 180 townsmen. The town is most distinguished for Maldon Sea Salt, which has been produced by the Maldon Crystal Salt Company ever since 1882. Over the course of the year, the town hosts a variety of events and activities. Of particular note is the annual 'Taxi Day', which consists of kids with special educational needs from London being driven to Maldon in London Black Cabs in order to engage in a fun-filled day of activities followed by a meal. The event was formed in 1952 when a London taxi driver saw the Elizabeth Fry Special School in Plaistow and wanted to do something unforgettable for the children there. The town also hosts the Maldon mud race, which consists of racing across the Blackwater Estuary at low tide, in order to raise money for various charities.
