A WARNING!
As you have probably already discovered, this site makes noises and has animations. That should be a clear indication that this is a fun site. We just thought that we would mention this as some folks don't appreciate that sort of thing; they hate the design of the site; they want to offer their services to redesign it; etc. So, if you are at work, turn the volume down now. We accept no responsibility for the contents of this site, nor are we looking for any awards. The people who are responsible are those that lived their lives many years ago and gave us our history. We simply record it here for the edification of others. To clarify: this is not intended to be a serious site, although it is sometimes difficult to avoid the serious side of our history. For the latter we apologise. For those without a sense of humour, or the pea-brained with politically correctness syndrome, we can recommend this.
Camulos is the name of a Celtic war god, from whose name is derived Camulodunum, the pre-history name for Colchester, the oldest recorded town in Great Britain. This site will tell you of Colchester's history; it will give you a virtual guided tour of the town/castle/town hall, etc; it will tell you about its Inns, Taverns and Pubs; you can find out who is inscribed on our war memorials; some who are buried in our cemeteries; it has an extensive collection of old postcards of the town; as well as many other things, too numerous to mention.
