Like most places, Halstead and the surrounding towns have changed a lot through the decades.
We have delved into our photo archives to find some photos of Halstead, Sible Hedingham and White Colne from yesteryear.
If you have any old photos of Halstead you would like to share or can identify anyone in the photos, please let us know by emailing hgnews@nqe.com or by popping into our office in Braintree High Street.
