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.
