About

St Anne's and St John's ward is a residential area situated to the north of Colchester's historic town centre. It is primarily composed of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, with some later infill developments. The ward is bounded by the River Colne to the south and the railway line to the north, giving it a defined geographic character. Its streets are largely residential, with local shops and services clustered along North Station Road, which serves as a main thoroughfare.

The area includes St John's Green, a notable open space that provides a focal point for the community. The University of Essex campus lies just to the west, outside the ward's boundary, but influences the local population. The presence of North Station, a key transport hub, connects the ward directly to London and Ipswich. Housing here is a mix of owner-occupied and privately rented properties, catering to students, professionals, and long-term residents.
