WE’RE taking another stroll down memory lane in today’s Gazette.
Here are ten more pictures from the past, all plucked from deep within our photo archive.
There is no connection between them - it’s a random selection - but they all show a glimpse of life in Colchester.
Today’s offering includes young schoolchildren, teachers from the town’s blue coat school, churchgoers and musicians.
As ever, we’d love to hear from you if you recognise anyone or can shed light on any of the pictures.
If you have your own old photos to share, from any era, email matt.plummer@newsquest.co.uk or head HERE.
Making a song and dance - these girls look ready to perform. We believe this picture was taken in either the 1920s or 1930s at Mile End School
Treading the boards - this picture shows members of the police amateur dramatics club, in Colchester
Leading by example - this picture was taken in the 1920s and is of staff from the blue coat school, in Colchester. Blue coat schools were for the children of poor families
Match of the day - this intriguing picture shows people, presumably parents, gathering round a team of young footballers. The boys were celebrating after winning a cup
Churchgoers - these men are gathered outside the church in Lexden Picture: TONY PRIOR
Cup kings - this group are clearly celebrating and proud of their silverware success. They have four cups lined up in front of them. Can you shed any light and tell us more about the picture?
Resplendent - these gents look the part
Beating the drum - we'd love to know more about this orchestra. Can you spot a grandparent or relative in the picture?
Taking a break - these workers take time out for a photo Picture: TONY PRIOR
Mass gathering - this picture shows dozens of children enjoying a day out. Judging from the caption in our system, we believe there is a connection with the National Union of Railwaymen
