Around New Town and down to the Hythe



Take a look at what lies between the town centre and the old port area. It's an area of bustle, muddle, traffic, business, waste spaces, views, woods, new housing, burnt out houses, demolition sites, grand old buildings, humble Victorian terraces, motor bike shops, printers, chapels and churches. It's not a heritage site, there are no visitor centres, and it's not been gentrified. But it's one of the most interesting parts of Colchester, and where much could be lost in the near future.
