Tour and Explanation of the History of 7 Queen Street
Queen Street Brew House, 7 Queen Street, Colchester, Essex, CO1 2PG
7 Queen Street, presently trading as The Queen Street, is Colchester's oldest continually occupied commercial building. Built in the 14th century it is a quirky place which still retains quite a lot of the original building. We have a selection of photographs and maps, and a sample of 18th century wallpaper to help tell this building's story.
