There is no doubting Colchester has changed a lot over the years.
We've uncovered these old pictures of the town.
They show the significant changes over the last 40 years.
From the tyre-created roundabout at The Albert to the sprawling car park where Asda now is, these pictures show how the booming population has impacted on the town.
Do you remember how these roads used to be?
And was it better then than it is now?
We'll let you be the judge of that.
View - an aerial showing the Octagon, North Station Road and St Peter's Street
Unknown - do you know where this is?
Days gone by - North Station Road
'Gridlock' - cars at North Station roundabout
The premises now better-known as One Stop
Greenfield - things have certainly changed at North Station
