Description
This evocative compilation of reminiscences records life as it used to be in Colchester from the late nineteenth century up to the second half of the twentieth. Contributorsâ (TM) memories have been transcribed from taped interviews and appear here in their own words.
Every facet of life is touched upon, from childhood to old age, work and family, war and peace. The oldest interviewee remembers the procession at Queen Victoriaâ (TM)s funeral, which she attended as a young girl. Many contributors remember horse-drawn delivery vehicles, washing by hand using coppers and mangles, leisure and entertainment before television, and countless other facts of everyday life which have since disappeared.
This fascinating vignette of a vanished society will doubtless appeal to all those who know Colchester. For older residents, it will offer a nostalgic glance back to the old days, while newcomers to the town will find this book an intriguing and invaluable historical resource for years to come.
