Geocache Description:


Nineteenth in a series of quick events for no reason other than we can!

I'll try to make them all at an interesting or historical place, as close to at least one cache as possible and not too far away from a pub!

This one's at Colchester's Town Hall. The Town Hall site has been the focus of civic duties for more than 800 years. Colchester's first Town Hall, called the Moot Hall was built in 1160. The second Town Hall was built in 1844 and was a three-storey structure with a stone faced front.

John Belcher designed the present Town Hall, which was chosen after a competition in 1897. Building work began in 1898 and the building was opened by the Earl of Rosebery in May 1902.

Meet at the coords any time between 7:00pm and 7:30pm, we'll have a group photo at 7:25pm then off home or to the pub.

There are loads of caches nearby, but the nearest one is Church Micro 2070…Colchester-Holy Trinity (GC32GGB)

The usual trackable bucket will be in attendance.

Parking in public car parks.

WRAP UP WARM!
