Save Britain’s Heritage, the campaigning group for historic buildings, has published a report focusing on Colchester.

Colchester Back to the Future says it is one of England’s most overlooked historic county towns.

The document argues that the town should capitalise on its history and heritage rather than “bend to economic development”.

The Castle Museum is offered advice on how to improve its displays. Save Britain’s Will Palin said the report was the first in a series “seeking to heal some of the mistakes of the past”.
