Colchester stands on the site of Camulodunum, the first major city in Roman Britain and its first capital. It sits on the River Colne, 50 miles north-east of London, and the old Roman wall still runs along Northgate Street in the Dutch Quarter, where many of the buildings date from Tudor times. After all those centuries, it was finally made a city in 2022.
Even Roman Britain needed a clear-out
Today it's more likely a loft in Lexden or a garage in Berechurch that's run out of room. Post the job for free and licensed, insured local carriers send you quotes. You pay once your waste has been collected, and every job comes with a waste transfer note, kept in your account.
