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 looking for a compatible pilot. Together with Craig's friend Sophie, the Doctor and Craig stopped 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 disappeared. He got a job in the department store Sanderson & Grainger and discovered a Cybership. It was later destroyed by an emotional feedback caused by Craig hearing his baby son cry during Craig's Cyber-conversion. (DW: Closing Time)

Brandon's Information Solutions had an office and call centre based in Colchester, employing 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)
