About

Mile End North, Braiswick and Kingswood Heath sit on Colchester’s northern edge, where suburban streets meet remaining patches of open ground. The area contains a mix of housing eras, from mid-20th century terraces to more recent estate developments around Braiswick. Day-to-day life is organised around small parades of shops, primary schools, and community halls, with regular bus services into Colchester town centre and convenient road access onto the A12. Braiswick’s newer streets were laid out with several small planted verges and pocket greens that mark the extension of the town northwards.

Community use of local open space is a recurring feature. Kingswood Heath retains traces of the heath that named it, with low scrub and grassland giving short walking routes and places for dog-walking close to housing. Local allotments and play areas sit alongside those greens, and small business units on the town’s northern approach provide nearer employment options. For residents the area functions as a residential catchment with practical links to Colchester’s services rather than a visitor destination.
