EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Colchester, Britain's oldest recorded town. The image is divided into three distinct scenes, each showcasing a different aspect of this historic location. The first panel showcases the majestic exterior of Colchester Castle, an 11th-century Norman keep that stands as a testament to the city's rich history. Its imposing structure dominates the skyline and transports viewers back in time. Moving on to the second panel, we are treated to a glimpse of the castle's interior. The intricate architectural features and grandeur within are awe-inspiring. It is easy to imagine oneself wandering through its halls, surrounded by centuries-old stories waiting to be discovered. In the final panel, our attention shifts towards High Street with St. Nicholas Church standing tall in all its glory. This bustling avenue offers a snapshot of daily life in Colchester during this era - people going about their business amidst charming black and white buildings. The photograph exudes an air of nostalgia with its black and white composition, transporting us back to 1898 when it was taken for "Our Own Country" volume VI publication by Cassell and Company Limited. It serves as both a historical record and an invitation for modern-day travelers to explore this remarkable destination. As we gaze upon this print from Heritage Images captured by an unknown photographer, we can't help but feel drawn into Colchester's past - a place where history comes alive at every corner.
