News from the Essex Industrial Heritage Group:
A partnership which includes the Marconi Heritage Group and
Chelmsford Civic Society are seeking to buy the lease on half of the ground
floor of the Marconi Hall Street factory – the first wireless factory in the
world – to create a community and heritage asset. They have launched a national
and international appeal for the funds to purchase a 99 year lease, after which
they will be applying to the Heritage Lottery Fund for equipping and fitting it
out as an educational and heritage resource. Pledges are already mounting up,
but much more is needed. To read more about the appeal and pledge money to this
very worthwhile project go to: https://spacehive.com/marconiscienceworX
