Among other things, Chelmsford has a rich and distinguished history in the world of science and technology. Most notably, it hosted the first ever entertainment radio broadcast in the United Kingdom in 1920 from the Marconi New Street works right in the centre, featuring Dame Nellie Melba. That led to regular entertainment broadcasts from Great Baddow in the south of the constituency and eventually to what we now know as the BBC.
