TODAY’S Nostalgia is taking us on a trip back to wartime Colchester.
You may have seen our recent spread featuring pictures taken by Harold Poulter, a curator for Colchester and Essex Museums, who lived at Hollytrees Museum.
They dated back to 1940, early into the Second World War.
Today’s Nostalgia features more of Mr Poulter’s pictures from the same year, depicting images of Head Street, Eld Lane, Scheregate Steps, Long Wyre Street, Crouch Street, East Hill and High Street.
His high-definition photos appear as part of an online catalogue published by Colchester and Ipswich Museums.
The public have been able to access pictures online, including looking at a fascinating Colchester Through Time collection. It is free to use and no registration is required. To check the catalogues, head to cim-web.adlibhosting.com/ais6/search/simple
Nostalgia - have you got old pictures to share with our readers?
We'd love to see your old pictures and share them with our readers. Have you got old school photos, pictures with work colleagues or sports pictures of you with team-mates? Or maybe you have pictures of nights out with friends or at a special event. Whatever it may be, we'd love to see your photos and share them online and in our papers.
