Braintree is a town in Essex, England. The principal settlement of Braintree District, it is located 10 miles northeast of Chelmsford and 15 miles west of Colchester.
Braintree has grown contiguous with several surrounding settlements. Braintree proper lies on the River Brain and to the south of Stane Street, the Roman road from Braughing to Colchester, while Bocking lies on the River Blackwater and to the north of the road. The two are sometimes referred to together as Braintree and Bocking, and since 1934 they form the civil parish of that name.
Braintree is bypassed by the modern-day A120 and A131 roads, while trains serve two stations in the town, at the end of the Braintree Branch Line. Braintree is twinned with Pierrefitte-sur-Seine, France, and gives its name to the towns of Braintree, Massachusetts and Braintree, Vermont, in the United States.
Braintree lies in north Essex, about 46 miles (74 km) from London, with factories and housing to the south and rural areas to the north, where arable crops are grown. It lies about 150 feet (46 m) above sea level. Essex is rather flat on the whole, and the Braintree area is no exception; however, there is a general downward trend in the height of the ground from the northwest towards the coast to the southeast. Two rivers flow through Braintree in this direction. Pod's Brook approaches the western side of the town, forming a natural boundary between Braintree and the neighbouring village of Rayne about two miles (3 km) to the west.
Braintree's museum, containing displays relating to the history of the town. The Braintree Arts Theatre opened in 2009 on the Notley High School campus. The Braintree and Bocking Carnival takes place each June.
Braintree has two main market areas that link throughout the town, which are run twice weekly, on a Wednesday and a Saturday. They are based outside the Town Hall in Market Square, and also run along Bank Street and the High Street. The High street is mainly a pedestrianised area, which allows only buses to commute through the town.
Freeport is a shopping area on the outskirts of Braintree, described as a designer outlet village. It has approximately 90 departments where designer brands sell surplus stock for lower than the recommended retail price. Freeport also has its own railway station, namely Braintree Freeport railway station, which is the first stop on the journey from Braintree to London Liverpool Street via Witham.
Braintree has two railway stations, Braintree and Braintree Freeport next to the Freeport shopping area.

'I just love drawing with typewriters'
An artist who draws with typewriters says he finds it a weird way of having fun.
James Cook, 23, started to use typography to design pictures while doing his A-levels and now receives commissions for his work from all over the world, including an album cover for a contestant on American Pop Idol.
The architecture student from Braintree says the machines can be really hard to come by.
People don’t tend to give them to charity shops - they either chuck them out because they don't quite work properly or they get lost through time.
For me a faulty typewriter can often work just fine in terms of using it as a tool to create art.

Braintree-Concert Etude #5: Very Accentric
Braintree is comprised of John NIchols on keyboards and Jonathan Schang on drums. The aim of the project is to compose modern-day concert etudes, wherein we select a musical device, and base a piece around it.
Very Accentric is based upon accents (i.e. bringing out a particular rhythm or melodic phrase above what surrounds it). Throughtout the course of this piece, we calculated every possible combination of two accents per measure. The crowd's a bit noisy on this one, but hopefully you can get a sense of it. Recorded live at Silvie's Lounge, CHicago, August 12 2006.
