Colchester's Caring Past is a unique exhibition of the medical and social history of the town.
 Memories and memorabilia provide a fascinating insight into the caring professionals
 who have served our community over the last two hundred years
and vintage photographs remind us of the hospitals and personalities of yesteryear.
The exhibition is on permanent display in the Primary Care Centre, Turner Road, Colchester.

A display of medical / laboratory glassware can also be seen in the centre.

This sparklingly beautiful equipment is only a small selection from the many medical artifacts
that form part of the Penfold Collection.

See information page for more details.
