Did they flatten it? I know it became a bit of a hotspot for Urbexers at one point, but not sure what happened to it.

Hi George
the former marconi works on new st is still there but in rather a bad state,as of yet its future remains uncertain
The only people interested in the actual place are Morrisons (supermarket chain) they also have their eyes on what used to be part of Anglian Ruskin University on victoria road south the site in question was part of their campus and before that housed the old library
As of now the campus (buildings) have now been demolished
the good news i have some record of how it was before the bulldozers moved in complete with metal fences hee hee.

i have never been inside the Marconi Works on New Street seeing that i live in Chelmsford but went down there and got lots of photos of the outside and at the back which is alongside Marconi Road

I say you should go that bit further and step inside before the state of the place goes downhill (which is generally inevitable with all abandoned buildings).

well if i knew of a way to get in to the actual factory itself then i would be able to get more photos

I could probably point you in the right direction. It is quite easy really, and it doesn't involve breaking and entering (i never do this to get into abandoned buildings)!

when i was looking at 28dayslater i noticed quite a few people had gone to the former new st works and had managed to get inside some thing i am still quite keen on doing but wondered would it be best meeting up as a group don't like the idea of getting stuck in there
