Colchester in Essex is Britain's oldest and newest city. Come with me on a tour of the historic city centre without the need to actually go there!
I will tell you stories that include tales of Celts, Romans, Saxons, Vikings, Normans, the Wool trade, the Civil War, the Georgians, the Victorians, the last century and right up to the present. I will show you the places where they lived, were entertained, fought and worshiped over the last 2000 years.
