STAFF from Colchester Museums dug out these old photos of when Queen Mary, the Queen's grandmother, visited the town.
She visited the Hollytrees Museum in 1938, and was particually interested in the dolls house collection, which is still there today.
Do you have any old photos we could include in our history section? Email zoe.forsey@nqe.com.
