There’s a nice little museum in the tea rooms on the site of the factory.

back then when colchester was a safer, more exciting peaceful town... now just full of druggie fuckwits from london. colchester been ruined by them.

It is thrilling to stand and watch, exhilarating!

Una leggenda narra che la regina Maria Stuarda, nel 1560, dopo avere lasciato la corte di Francia per la morte del marito, il re Francesco II, ritorna nella sua amata Scozia portandosi anche diversi vasetti di marmellata di arance. Si racconta che ne mangiasse in quantità enormi soprattutto quando si ammalava e per questo le dettero il soprannome di “Marie-malade” che diventò per gli inglesi “marmalade”. Oggi questa marmellata di arance amare di Siviglia è un must a livello mondiale. Il suo sapore decisamente amaro la rende inimitabile. La qualità di questi prodotti è stata riconosciuta anche dai Reali inglesi che assegnarono a Wilkin & Sons il Royal Warrant nel 1911, un marchio di garanzia che compare ancora oggi su ogni vasetto. La Wilkin & Sons fu fondata nel 1885 da A.C. Wilkin, nel villaggio di Tiptree, in Essex, dove ancora oggi ha sede l’azienda che produce le marmellate e le confetture più famose del mondo, secondo un metodo rigorosamente tradizionale. La raccolta, infatti, viene effettuata esclusivamente a mano, il che consente di mantenere i frutti inalterati e di scegliere solo i migliori per la produzione, che avviene subito dopo, donando così alla confettura il gusto di quella fatta in casa. L’azienda è sempre rimasta di proprietà della famiglia Wilkin. NOTA da tenere a mente in caso di colazione in UK: “marmalade” è la parola inglese che indica la marmellata di agrumi, mentre “jam” si usa per indicare marmellate fatte con qualsiasi altro frutto! famigliagastaldello.it/it/prodotti/confetture/wilkin-sons-marmellata-di-arance-amare-767b1-ita.php

Back in the day when Colchester had a proper bus station!

Things are sooo different now!..

I feel obliged to leave a note here with my story. At a local auction recently in Stockport I bought five large old storage tins, each with a round lid and decorated with chinese characters and patterns. They were obviously of some age, well used and a bit bashed but still complete, functional and attractive. They all had the remnants of old sticky labels and sellotape on them and in a couple (after prising open their lids) I actually found a few coffee beans. I also came across a small label (could be a blank price label) stuck on the bottom of one that said "Jacklins Colchester". I wondered if it was possible that the tins could have come from this establishment, a long shot but thought I'd investigate on the Internet. Imagine my astonishment to see trhe actual tins in this video, complete with their original coffee contens labels - they first appear on a shelf as a set of three at 4m30s into the video; Im guessing I have the set of five tins that appear slightly later on a lower shelf at 4m 55s. What are the chances of actually seeing the tins in situ?!! I must say I'm delighted and very thankful to the Colchester History Channel for posting this video and allowing me to have provenance for my purchase 🙂

Hi, This very interesting. Does anyone remember the first Tesco store in Colchester? It was in Culver Street East. John

I am ex RN. . As a young man I learned how to drive a car on Boxted Airfield. I have now lived in Australia for fifty years. Went that missing man flight went over I burst into tears. ( I am now 75 years old. You would think it would not affect me so much but you can never thank those heroic men and women enough, who laid down their live so we could all live free.

It was a general hospital too don’t believe all the hype as it sells more.

Smell that coffee now ❤️

Walking in the Air from The Snowman.

I have such happy memories of Jacklin’s as a former Colcestrian. I used to go there in the sixties and seventies with my family and loved the toasted tea cakes which came under silver lids. So sad that it has to go - I loved the film - I even remember the staircase up to the restaurant and the lovely smells on the ground floor of tobacco, freshly ground coffee and chocolate -sadly missed….

Not sure where the Elf and safety is at Tiptree ! Worker trips over the pallet on the floor !!! AND THEN throws a moldy grapefruit in the bin but ignores the fact that the surrounding grapefruit are covered in mold ! I'm rethinking my shopping preferences. In fact just making a large amount of marmalade at home instead.

When was this filmed?

When life was normal.

Ah! Good old woolies, how I miss that store. Most of my childhood was spent in those stores while my mother stocked up on everything from my Dads sandwich meat to our Christmas presents..wonderful days that I will always miss.

I lived in Tiptree during the 80’s & 90’s, I was then in my mid twenties & thirties. I remember the waft of oranges coming across the fields when they would make the marmalade. There is a wonderful museum there & you can visit the tea rooms for fresh cream scones & Tiptree strawberry jam at certain times of the year. There is also a produce & gift shop where you can buy their jams & other related produce. Sadly I had to move after living there for around 12 years. Tiptree is a very special place & I miss it.

I wasn’t present at the opening but I remember the new post office & I’ve used it frequently over the years.

It would be a lot easier to ring in the traditional way with a wheel and rope. Also that is incredibly dangerous. Still they are unique

Thank you for posting this, my Mum and sister are in it - such a lovely memory

How lovely. Loved this shop and there's a clip of my late mum and my sister walking outside the shop. Made my day seeing Mum. Thanks for this great memory.

Can’t stop listening to it. Masterpiece

Were they lost?

Just had some, absolutely lush.

id prefer to ring by rope and wheel as tower bells are rung english style but this sounds nice

Great place to buy my cigars, I also went out with one of the girls there back in the 80s

Great film, thanks!

wonder why he didnt he lease the business to another owner such a shame

Where are the mongs?

Fun fact: I actually used to live in tiptree.

I took mine to William griffins Father Christmas he was great. . We still live here

Wow my school is old

Never been to Colchester but I LOVE the 90s aesthetic of everything. Nice one.

This is brilliant I used to live near here and I always used to wonder about this airfield, great story’s.

"Campanology" refers to the theoretical side of ringing. It is not ringing itself

Hardly a history. A bit of a hoch poch. We sell a professionally produced DVD through our website. www.boxted-airfield.com

My partner, Linda Stones, worked at 'Jacklin's' in the early 1980s on all of the counters. This video brought back many memories, but what couldn't be shown she said was the sound of the creaking woodwork as you went upstairs and the aroma of the place; a mixture of coffee, chocolate and fine tobacco. Mr Jacklin was an exacting and kind employer, fondly remembered by her.

Wonderful memories thank you so much.

Great video mate I remember the old boy

We need more frequent videos!!
