New local history exhibition City Centered at Chelmsford Museum features the sights, sounds and smells of Chelmsford’s past.

Take a trip through time to explore the history of England’s diamond jubilee city from its early origins to the present. In the 1900 High Street listen to Victorian street sounds and smell the aroma of old inns while you find out which building in the High Street is said to be haunted - and why. 

How did Father Christmas bring Chelmsford to a standstill?  Where was Chelmsford’s original theatre?

Chelmsford Museum, Oaklands Park, Moulsham Street, Chelmsford, from Saturday July 19 to Sunday November 2. Details: chelmsford.gov.uk/citycentred
