History
The Essex County Standard was founded in January 1831, then called the Essex Standard. It was to be a weekly Tory paper and "a Standard around which the loyal, the religious, and the well-affected of our County may rally".[3] Originally printed in Chelmsford, it was acquired by a John Taylor in September 1831, who moved it to new premises in Colchester. The paper was sold to Edward Benham, T. Ralling, and Henry B. Harrison in 1866 though Ralling soon relinquished his interest. The paper was enlarged to eight pages in 1873.[3]
Managers of the paper dropped the price to 1
Clacton based publishing company in 1970 to form Essex County Newspapers Ltd.[3]
