'''Essex''' is a county of southern and eastern England. The south-west of the county contains the north-east part of the [[London]] conurbation. The south-east of the county, lying on the north side of the estuary of the [[River Thames]], is also largely suburban and industrial, and much of the planned future growth of London will occur in this district; the north of the county is more rural and agricultural, similar to parts of neighbouring [[East Anglia]]. Major towns include [[Colchester]], a pre-Roman and Roman centre which is the oldest town in the [[United Kingdom]], [[Chelmsford]], the [[county seat|county town]], and [[Southend-on-Sea]], a major coastal resort.
