The
Changing Face of Colchester
The changing face of Colchester provides a vivid insight into
the dramatic changes that have taken place in this historic
town over the past 200 years. The book provides a graphic record
of the generations of people who lived and worked there, and
it recalls houses and public buildings, shops, factories and
pubs that have vanished or been altered almost beyond recognition.
The pictures show changing types of transport and fashion, the
spread of buildings across the countryside, and the developing
character of streets and businesses as they took on the form
that is familiar today. 200 illustrations along with an informative
anecdotal text to contrast Colchester's past with its present.
Historic
Colchester (Handbooks for Teachers S.)
Tracing Colchester's history back to even pre-Roman times, this
book looks at the evidence in buildings, archaeological investigation
and settlement patterns to show different phases of development.
A
Living Society: Celebrating the History of Colchester and East
Essex Co-operative Society
In 1861 a small group of tradesmen met in a Colchester coffee
house to discuss a new enterprise: the Colchester and East Essex
Co-operative Society. From modest beginnings in a back room
the Society steadily grew expanding its range of goods and services.
Today the Colchester and East Essex Co-op is the largest retail
chain in the region.
