Colchester Walking Through Time From Celtic Roots to Modern Marvels Are you a family member or an ancestor in one of the 100's of pictures?
Throughout its lengthy history, the town of Colchester—once thought to be the capital of Roman Britain—has experienced numerous events and transformations. The town's history is covered in this book, starting with its early Celtic ancestry and Roman colonisation, continuing through the plague and civil war, the Victorian era's entrepreneurship and social reform, the twentieth-century development of industry, and contemporary Colchester. Despite the massive amount of new construction, the town maintains an intriguing blend of old and modern. A walking tour of the town is included in the book; it takes the reader to historic sites in and around the town centre and begins and ends at the War Memorial. It allows locals and tourists to go back in time via Colchester's historical streets and structures, and it may be consulted independently of the book's primary narrative.
