Chelmsford, New Street Marconi Evolution Development

This is a small part of the new 'Marconi Evolution' residential development beside Marconi Road and New Street in the City of Chelmsford in Essex (UK).

The 'Marconi Evolution' development is located on the former Marconi New Street Works which was built in 1912 and was the world's first purpose built radio factory.

In 1920 the first official UK radio transmission took place at New Street Works by Dame Nellie Melba. This site has so much history attached to it for so many people. I started my adult working life at the New Street factory in August 1984 when around 4500 people worked here.

The works closed for good in 2008 and most of the site was butchered by Bellway Homes from 2013 after 5 years of shameful dereliction and vandalism.

The majority of the factory was demolished in 2013 apart from the original Grade II listed frontage, the water tower and the works powerhouse.
