The history of Colchester between 1835 and 1992 forms the chapter on Modem Colchester in The Victoria History of the Counties of England: Essex, Volume IX, The Borough of Colchester (1994). The volume on the Borough of Colchester falls into two parts: I - a chronological history incorporating the major themes, such as economic history, local government, and topographical development; II - detailed sections on subsidiary topics including communications, the port, the barracks, the fishery, markets and fairs, public services, churches, and education. The main section here-reproduced forms the chapter on Modem Colchester in Part I and gives a general account of the development of the borough from 1835 until 1992; the appendix reproduces the list of mayors from 1835 until Local Government reorganization in 1974. The chapter here reproduced deals with the ancient town centre and with developments in Berechurch, Greenstead, Lexden, and Mile End, and takes no account of the large area brought into the borough in 1974.
