IT might not seem that long since 2009, but Braintree and Witham have changed a great deal over the last 10 years.

The towns are among the fastest growing in the UK, with hundreds of millions of pounds worth of investment being made over the past decade.

We've taken a trip down memory lane using pictures from Google Street view taken in 2009 and 2019.

There have been new shops, homes and schools added to our towns and doubtlessly many more things have changed.

So take a scroll through our gallery below to see Braintree and Witham as you remember it.
