About

Mile End is a residential ward situated to the north of Colchester's historic town centre. The area is primarily characterised by a mix of housing, ranging from Victorian terraces to more modern developments. It is bordered by the Ipswich Road, a major route, and contains several local schools and community facilities.

The surrounding streets feature older cottages and buildings that reflect the area's long history as a separate settlement before being absorbed by the town. Green spaces like King George V playing fields provide recreational areas for residents.
