This is the Former Bunting (St Georges) Gymnasium in Culver St once the home of the 1st Colchester Scout Group. This group actually predates the Scout movement by about ten years as the Colchester St Georges Club was founded in the 1890’s. In 1908 the members voted to give up their independence and join the new Scouting Movement. William Bunting provided a bequest that set up the Gym in 1906 for the good of the young men of Colchester. There is a new bunting room still used by the 1st Colchester a few streets away. See the dedication plaque here Image
