Geografija

Colchester leži na sjeveroistoku Essexa, duž obala rijeke Colne[3], udaljen 97 km sjeveroistočno od Londona.

Historija

Još za predrimskih vremena na mjestu današnjeg grada ležao je Kamulodunum, prijestolnica belgskog kralja Kunobelina.[3] Kamulodunum je spaljen 60. u vrijeme bune britske kraljice Budike. Rimljani su ga obnovili pa je ubrzo postao jedan od vodećih gradova Rimske Britanije, iz tog vremena još uvijek se mogu vidjeti ostatci gradskih bedema i ulaznih vrata.[3] Saksonci su to naselje zvali Colneceaste, a u Domesday Booku 1086. je naveden pod imenom Colcestra.[3] Colchester je prvu povelju o statusu grada dobio 1189.[3]

Colchester još uvijek ima dobro očuvani normanski zamak, sagrađen oko 1080. On je najveći zamak tog tipa u Engleskoj, u njemu se danas nalazi muzej rimsko-britskih starina. Crkva Svetog Trojstva iz 1050. ima kasno saksonski zvonik, a od augustinskog samostana sv Botolpha ostao je očuvan jedino dio normanskog zapadnog broda sa arkadama.[3]

Tokom 13. vijeka Colchester je bio jedna od vodećih engleskih luka.[3] I kraljica Elizabeta I i James I poticali su doseljavanje flamanskih tkalaca koji su trebali unaprijediti proizvodnju vunenih tkanina, tako da od tih vremena Colchester poznat kao grad tekstila.[3] Još od tih vremena bio je poznat po trgovini oštrigama iz rijeke Colne. Slikar John Constable naslikao je dosta svojih veduta u nedalekom selu Dedham gledajući rijeku Stour.[3]

Privreda i obrazovanje

Tekstilna industrija je propala, ali je Colchester i danas industrijski grad u kom se proizvodi električna i visoko tehnološka oprema, mašine i štampa puno publikacija. Ipak, privreda današnjeg grada bazira se sve više na sektoru usluga i turizmu.[3]

U gradu djeluje Univerzitet Essex, osnovan 1961.[3]
