THESE pictures of Colchester give a sense of how much the town has grown and changed over the last few decades.
New housing developments and roads have sprung up between landmarks which have stood the test of time, like Balkerne Gate, Jumbo, and of course, Colchester Castle.
Former Essex County Standard photographer, Terry Weeden, went up in a plane to capture most of these images in the 80s and 90s, and others were taken from the top of Jumbo.
