This area of Colchester has a rich architectural history. in Medieval times, Colchester was a prosperous wool town and large numbers of weavers and cloth makers from Flanders emigrated to Colchester to produce Bays and Says cloth within their own cottages. This neighbourhood is still known as The Dutch Quarter.
Many of the medieval properties within the Dutch quarter followed the lines of old Roman street frontages. The old Roman wall still runs along Northgate Street in the Dutch Quarter and many properties have Roman structural remains within their walls and cellars.
There were also a number of springs in the area including a well at the bottom of the street where live-stock was brought to drink, it is this origin that “Stock Well” street gets its name.

Without a doubt there are two large driving forces for people moving to the area. The excellent range of private and state schools. The grammar schools annually top the league tables across the country. The range of private schools offer a more tailored education and are exceptionally well sought after. The second, being value for money, although, as the town grows, house prices within the area look to rise steadily within the coming years.
