"Colchester is a town richer in history than most in England..The period of the town's greatest change has been the last hundred years - a period which has seen a huge garrison built on what was once the outskirts; "Jumbo", trams, motor cars, huge building projects (with the demolition that goes with them) and changing patterns of shopping and leisure. For Colchester is not a town which sees itself as a museum but a place where people live, work and play and make today's activities tomorrow's history."
