Harry looks all innocent with the remote
Bramford Dereliction and Marconi Demolition, Chelmsford - 12th March 2013
Thanks to the local council somehow failing to list either the iconic Marconi House, the factory or building 720 of the New Street Works in Chelmsford, the buildings - constructed in 1912 and said to be the world's first purpose-built radio factory - are criminally and implausibly trashed in order to build yet more generic flats and apartments. That shocking sight is bookended by a very wet day in Diss, and the slow ongoing demolition of the buildings in and around the old British Xylotol site in Bramford, near Manningtree.

Harry - the Baby Gabey
It's good weather for ducks
The grass is almost as one with the Mere
Wet brick paviers in Norfolk House Yard
Wet shiny bricks
Harry reaches up in Amandines
A funky fish reserved sign
The New Street factory entrance is covered up
The guts of the Marconi site are ripped out
The space where history used to be
A pile of crushed concrete
The iconic Marconi Building in Chelmsford
The derelict water tower near Manningtree station
A view towards Manningtree
A derelict hut on the mud flats
The tide is out on the river
Derelict factory buildings east of the line
Graffiti on the walls
Pipes and derelict offices
Smashed windows in a stone building
Snow on the roofs of derelict factory buildings
Steel pipes on the other side of the railway
Another derelict factory in Bramford
Wasteland, and some piles of brick
The partly cleared site at Bramford
The edge of dereliction, on the river
