Let's take a look at the historic town of Colchester – it's been around since before Roman Times! It was the first Roman settlement here in Britain and was the Roman capital. An old Celtic town known as Camulodunon, this community is 'as old as the hills'! You can understand why Colchester claims to be Britain's oldest town. An ancient Roman Chariot Racecourse was uncovered beneath the Garrison in
Colchester confirming its Roman heritage. Boudicca Queen of the British Iceni tribe famously attacked Colchester too and it was one of the three cities she 'hit' - when it was a Roman stronghold.
Now it has a rapidly rising population –everyone wants to live in Colchester! In the 2001 census the figures for the number of residents was almost 104,500; if as suggested this figure is rising, it will be very interesting to see the totals from this year's census when they are finally published.

Notably Colchester which is just 60 miles north east of London and 30 east of Stansted Airport, has a castle and a football team the very juxtaposition of these two encapsulates the historic and the modern!
In fact Colchester Castle was built in Norman times and is now a Grade I listed building – one of 14,000 listed buildings in the county of Essex. Its Keep is half as big again as the White Tower at the Tower
of London and it is the largest remaining Keep in Europe. The castle is built on the foundations of the earlier Roman Temple of Claudius.

Queen Boudicca

A Garrison town

Colchester has followed another tradition since Roman times, having a military presence in the town. The 16th Air Assault Brigade is currently making Colchester Garrison their home! It also houses the Army's only corrective training centre known locally as 'The Glasshouse' by the army and civilians alike. All three services,
Army, RAF and Navy detainees are held here.

Colchester United FC
The original football club was Colchester Town a non-professional team. Following their continuing bad performance, a new team, Colchester United was born in 1937; their biggest rival is their neighbour Southend United.
