The people of Essex whose Thames estuary trading wealth, Boudicca rebellion fire, and new town pioneering spirit made them the most commercially dynamic and most defiantly independent county community on the doorstep of London.
Essex People — the people of Essex whose county stretching from the Thames estuary to the Suffolk border contains within its landscape the oldest recorded town in Britain, Colchester — the Roman Camulodunum whose colonia of retired legionaries, temple of Claudius, and chariot-racing circus made it the first capital of Roman Britain — and the site of its most dramatic destruction, the Iceni queen Boudicca whose army of East Anglian and Essex tribes burned Camulodunum, Londinium, and Verulamium to the ground in 60 AD in the most ferocious indigenous uprising against Roman occupation in British history, the scorched layer her army left beneath the streets of Colchester still visible in the archaeological record two thousand years later. The Essex world whose Thames estuary ports of Tilbury, Harwich, and Mersea Island connected the county to the North Sea trading networks whose wool, cloth, and grain commerce made medieval Essex one of the wealthiest counties in England, and whose postwar new towns of Harlow and Basildon — the planned communities whose Festival of Britain optimism housed the London overspill in the most ambitious social housing experiment in English planning history — gave Essex its reputation for reinvention, energy, and the entrepreneurial working-class ambition that the Essex character has always worn with unapologetic pride. This interactive t-shirt connects you to that Boudicca and estuary legacy with a QR code linking to the full story.
