Colchester pub history index

Looking at Google images, it was the Duchess from about 2012 latterly renaming as the Camulodunum. In 2009 it was the Wig and Pen. Before this it was a stationers shop.
It was a Greene King public house in 2017, and still in March 2026. Greene King has announced plans to sell off, or convert 150 pubs into tenanted or franchised locations, as the UK hospitality sector struggles with rising costs.
