Chelmsford Public Library.

A Memory of Chelmsford.

This fine building is still a listed one located in present day VICTORIA ROAD SOUTH, and is opposite the SOCIAL SERVICES buildings which are a part of the ESSEX COUNTY COUNCIL complex. After being situated here it then moved to the large building next to the newly transformed bus station. It stayed there for many years. before that building was taken over as part of CHELMSFORD BOROUGH COUNCIL offices. From there it can now be found below ground level at the aforesaid ESSEX COUNTY COUNCIL complex. But back to the former public library. For many years it formed a part of the old Esssex University before that in turn was relocated to the old Hoffman Works site. At present due to its listed status it awaits the developers who have yet to get aroung to actually improving a site which is a blot on the centre of towns landscape in its present state. The development as one understands it will be somewhat of an improvement but however it is believed that it must still somehow include this fine building.
