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]

gollark: On the plus side, at least the encouragey bit has been reworded from Lignum's version where the player who installs software they don't understand is the one breaking the rules.
gollark: Not really.
gollark: Especially since I'm used to `rm` on Linux actually deleting multiple things, and it doesn't error if you pass it two arguments... it's very confusing.
