We’re not sure about this image @VisitColchester, you can’t improve on perfection. Obviously, if we did indulge in a burger, it would have to come with #Jumbo fries 😉😂 #NationalBurgerDay
It’s #NationalBurgerDay! Where can we find the best burger in #Colchester? 🍔
So, today is #WorldElephantDay and we do love a tenuous link, so we’re going to mention #Jumbo #Colchester! #heritage @HeritageFundUK @yourcolchester @VisitColchester
Wow! What great images. Thanks @AndrewPBrooks #heritage
Details from Jumbo, #Colchester’s famous water tower, from a walk round the town this evening. 3
Thanks @VisitColchester, we officially love you!
@AndrewPBrooks @williams2_h @sue_brandon Hi Andrew @ColchesterBPT is a good account to follow/contact for all things Jumbo - they have just run a series of events around this iconic building and its future...
That’s a good one @willquince (we may be a little biased 😉) #JumboSummer #heritage @HeritageFundUK
Interesting Colchester FACT #13
Built in 1882 and standing 110 feet high, Jumbo (or Balkerne Water Tower) is the largest remaining Victorian water tower in Britain.

28th August 2018It would be a real shame if this church were to be demolished, i used to go to the primary school in the early 1960’s and we went to the church on a regular basis i can also see the spire from the field near my parents home when i go for a walk, My mother also attended the church as a girl.
The church is a local land mark so should be kept.
