Historic â Colchester Co-opâs first branch shop, on the corner of New Town Road and Kendall Road, which has been converted into flats as confirmed by the blue plaque (pictured below)
In his first instalment about the history of Colchester’s “New Town Estate”, dating back to 1880, Sir Bob Russell stopped where his tour went from Winnock Road down Charles Street to Kendall Road. His descriptive walk now continues in this second and final instalment. THE New Town Estate, designed by James Goodey, who lived in the centre of his unique development of houses for “all classes” in Victorian Britain, featured among the 470 dwellings several corner shops, a public house (originally The Blue Boar but now The New Town Tavern), in Kendall Road, and The Royal Mortar, in Military Road.
