TODAY'S nostalgia spread is taking you for another walkabout in Colchester.

We've been rummaging through our archives to bring you these old pictures of St John's Street.

Although one side of the street has remained much the same over the decades, our photos show the huge development that was St John's Walk.

They also show the construction of the multi-storey car park.

Including on the next three pages are a glimpse of the Playhouse in a former guise, Percy Turton, who was a well-known face at St John's Street Greengrocers, FV Cheek Confectioners and the old Fish Restaurant.

If you have old photos to share with our readers, email matt.plummer@newsquest.co.uk
