Colchester

Colchester was a large town in the English county of Essex.

A Cyberman spaceship once crashed in Colchester, but would remain dormant until centuries later. (DW: Closing Time)

The Eleventh Doctor once spent a short amount of time there, living with Craig Owens. During this time, a spaceship hidden by a perception filter abducted and killed a total of seventeen people in an attempt to find a compatible pilot. Together with Craig's friend Sophie, the Doctor and Craig were able to stop the ship. (DW: The Lodger)

When returning to Colchester to say good-bye to Craig before his impending death, the Eleventh Doctor discovered that a Cybermat was interfering with the electricity grid, and that several people had dissapeared. By getting a job in the department store Sanderson & Grainger, he eventually discovered the Cybership, which was later destroyed by an emotional feedback, caused by Craig hearing his baby son cry during Craig's Cyber-conversion process.

Brandon's Information Solutions had an office and call centre based in Colchester, employing both Craig and Sophie.

Colchester also had a Football league, in which teams from local pubs, such as the Kings Arms and the Crown & Anchor, would compete. (DW: The Lodger)
