A NEW venue has been chosen for a book launch.

Colchester historian Patrick Denney's new book Old Heath Memories will be officially launched tonight.

However, due to the interest in the book, Mr Denney has had to switch venues from the community hall in D'Arcy Road, Colchester, to St Barnabas Church, which is off Abbots Road.

The event starts at 7.15pm and there will be parking signposted nearby.

The book is the latest in the series by the respected author which looks at Colchester through the ages.
