1939 "census" location

[Graeme Wall]

I have found a person in 1939 at 21 George Street! There is no othere
clue as to where in the country this is, the Borough, UD or RD section
hasn't been completed, all I have is is the ED Letter Code: DBVI
the page ref is tna_r39_1507_1507c_007.jpg.

Anyone know how to decode this to an actual location?

A couple of the people are listed as labourers at RAOC Colchester so I
assume that is the most likely location.
