Colchester's Caring Past is a unique exhibition of the medical and social history of the town.

 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.
