Colchester
A panorama of Colchester station on a dismal 10th January 1976. The former Essex Hall Hospital (demolished 1989) occupies the background to the left while in the right foreground is the rough and ready overspill car park. Platform 2 in the station is hosting an unusual visitor in the form of a Class 33 at the head of a football special. It has just arrived with Crystal Palace fans who are about to transfer to the buses on the right and head for Colchester United's ground at Layer Road. The visitors went away happy despite the weather, having won three nil.
