New Street Works, Grade II listed industrial building in Chelmsford, England
The New Street Works features large windows, symmetrical facades, and decorative elements characteristic of early 20th-century British industrial architecture.
Built in 1912, this structure marked a milestone as the first purpose-built radio factory in the world, constructed for the Marconi Company in just 17 weeks.
The building stands as a testament to British industrial innovation, where the first experimental radio broadcasts reached audiences from Europe to Canada in 1920.
The structure spans 70,000 square feet across multiple floors, incorporating modern engineering solutions while maintaining its original architectural features.
The factory's rapid construction timeline of 17 weeks in 1912 demonstrated advanced building techniques that influenced industrial architecture throughout Britain.
