Colchester's history traces back to the Iron Age and the Roman settlement that once served as the capital of Britain. Extensive remnants of Roman Colchester remain visible today, showcasing the city's rich heritage from its medieval and later periods, including the Norman castle constructed on Roman foundations. The wool trade brought prosperity, and numerous buildings from the Tudor era grace the city. However, much of Colchester's present-day character stems from its expansion in the nineteenth century. Post-World War II, areas of the town underwent redevelopment, a process that has continued in recent years, particularly in the extensive garrison area. Colchester Reflections presents an captivating collection of historic and modern photographs meticulously merged to illustrate the area's transformation over the decades. Comprising 180 pictures, this book combines contemporary color views of Colchester with corresponding sepia archive scenes. Through the split-image effect, readers can observe how streets, buildings, and everyday life have evolved over time. Local author Patrick Denney presents this fascinating visual chronicle, offering a unique perspective on Colchester's past and present. This book appeals to residents, visitors, local historians, and anyone with connections to the region, providing a valuable insight into the city's rich heritage and evolution.
