Marconi: Where it all started

In this inaugural episode of The Chelmsford Broadcast we explore Chelmsford’s key role in the birth of broadcasting, as Sarah shares the story of the inventor of radio – Guglielmo Marconi – in Curator’s Corner. Rachel introduces us to the beautiful Oaklands House, once the home of the Victorian Wells family and now home to the Museum of Chelmsford. And for our very first Chelmsfordian of the Week, Rebecca looks at the life of Thomas Clarkson Neale, who formed the foundations of the first Museum of Chelmsford.
