    Colchester is first recorded Britain's town. It is really worth to visit. You can see Roman constructions remains, preserved medieval buildings, etc.

    In the long run we gained our city status back.. Colchester was a city in roman times and was only reduced to a town status cos boudicca burnt colchester and the Romans fled to London which reduced colchester to a town.. Colchester was always in it rights to be a city again as we once were
