History
The facility has it origins in a dispensary in Duke Street which opened in 1818.[1] It moved to a rented building in Moulsham Street in 1871 and then to a purpose-built facility in New London Road, designed by Fred Chancellor and opened by Daisy Greville, Countess of Warwick, in 1883.[2] It joined the National Health Service as Chelmsford and Essex Hospital in 1948.[3] After services transferred to Broomfield Hospital, the main building was downgraded to the status of a health centre and the rest of the site was subsequently redeveloped for residential use.[4][5]
