“The Chelmsford Streets that lost their character” an Illustrated talk by Alan Pamphilon
The Common, Galleywood, Chelmsford, Essex, CM2 8TR
As well as attending the talk, visitors can look around the Heritage Centre
Located on Galleywood Common, the Heritage Centre’s main building is a conversion of the 1920s grandstand from the hey days of horse racing. A listening bench in the ground has stories from yesteryear from the Galleywood residents past & present.
Just outside the grounds on Galleywood Common, the track of the old racecourse can be seen. A short walk across the free public car park close by brings visitors to the remains of the Napoleonic era Star Fort earthworks which has an interpretation board.
In the Heritage room there will be various displays, photographs and information about the racecourse and much more.
The Horseshoe tea room will be open before and after the talk for hot and cold drinks, hot food and home made cakes.Check opening hours on website nearer the time.
