More about this scene

The monumental scale of the town hall is contin- ued inside the Moot Hall, a linguistic link to Anglo- Saxon Colchester. Here giant fluted Corinthian columns support a massive cornice and a segmental roof, with the organ behind the dais.

School Days
I remember in my 1st year at the Royal Grammar School (1955), I was selected to read the 1st lesson at the school Carol Service at the Town Hall. Also the borough organist was Leonard Simpson who was also organist and choir master at St Mary at the Walls Church where I was a chorister in the late 50's. I also remember coming to a dance here with my parents who were involved in the organisation. I suspect it was the BP Guild, but not sure.

However, if you would particularly like to buy one of these please get in touch quoting the Frith negative number,(s) the town name and size of print you would like to buy. On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.
