RADIO HISTORY: MARCONI CHELMSFORD SITE TO BE RE-DEVELOPED
The BBC reports that the Marconi New Street factory in the
United Kingdom city of Chelmsford is to be redeveloped after
being left derelict for several years.
Marconi New Street was the world's first purpose designed
and built wireless factory. It was opened in June 1912 by
radio pioneer Guillermo Marconi and where he carried out his
research work and built a large electronics and
telecommunications business. It also provided housing for
many of those who were employed by Marconi.
According the BBC that business dissolved in 2006 and the
building has stood empty since 2008. The new owners says
that it wants to build homes, offices, shops and community
facilities at the site, which covers about 10 acres near
Chelmsford city center but also retain and refurbish the
main 1912 Marconi building for office space.
