“I grew up in Southend, left to study and travel and returned to the county to work at one of the world’s leading social science universities – Essex. As an historian, I’m always amazed by Colchester’s unique heritage. From Britain’s only known Roman chariot racing circuit to the largest Norman keep in Europe to its award-winning arts, cultural and new tech centres, we have so much to offer.”
