New Town grew up in the Victorian era just beyond the old walls, and its long streets of brick terraces are some of the most characterful in Colchester. They are also some of the hardest to get up and down if your knees or hips have started to complain.

Homes and staircases in New Town

Typical New Town homes are two or three storey Victorian terraces with a steep, straight, narrow staircase running up from a small hall. Space is tight, and doors often open straight onto the foot of the stairs.

Local tip: In narrow terrace halls a slim straight rail with a folding seat and footrest usually works, and a perching or standing lift is a good alternative when a seat feels too bulky.
