Chelmsford in General

I thought I would write a bit about the place where I like to go shopping or just for a day out. This is Chelmsford, the County Town of Essex. This town has the population of just over 157,000 and goes back to the Roman days when in AD60 it started to develope into a small town. It was then called Caesaromagus which meant " market-place of Caesar". This is the only town in Britian to have the name Caesar in it. Many years later it was granted the right to have a market on one day a week that being a Friday. That was over 800 years ago and the market today can still be found flourishing on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Friday and Saturdays. This ...  Read the complete review

I have lived in Essex all my life except for when i was at uni and from the age of 21 i have lived in the centre of Chelmsford. Firstly like all towns there are good and bad bits and one particular area i would avoid living is Melbourne. It's very (for want of a better word) chavvy and i have never felt safe during the day let alone at night around there. It's dirty with well known drugs users, and a hideous block of flats. The only good thing is the sports centre there which has badminton courts and a gym and lots of classes for all age groups. The sports ground is also there with a running track etc. On the outskirts of Chelmsford are Galleywood, ...  Read the complete review

I spent most of my childhood in Chelmsford. It's right in the heart of Essex and is full of rude-boys, rude-girls and rude-cars. It's actually a very old town and has a certain element of charm that is perhaps more appreciated by outside visitors than by its residents. The town centre is pedestrianised and is always full of local folk milling around buying things from clothing stores, walking up to Lush then back to Boots and then to Tesco. It's very England. If you are looking for some sights to see, then stick to the old. The cathedral is beautiful and the 18th century railway viaduct nearby is great. There are beautiful and safe parks that are well worth a ...  Read the complete review

Chelmsford is a superb town in Essex... great for shopping, nights out, eating out and everything you could want from a bustling town centre! There is a wide range of shops from the usual high street brands such as Next, Mothercare, M&S, etc through to more unusual independent shops like Fun Junction for fantastic educational toys. Chelmsford boasts a regular market situated undercover for all the usual bargain veg, materials and clothing and once a week there is also a farmers market where you can buy amazing local produce, from locally reared venison to locally made cheeses and home made fudge! Well worth a visit, this market is generally ...  Read the complete review

I have lived in Chelmsford for about 19 years after leaving Shropshire at the age of 7. It is fair to say, i have seen the place change a lot over the years but it is still a great place to be. Situated about 35 miles from london, its handy for commuters to get to on the train (when there isnt a 20mph speed limit in place) and normally takes about 40-45 mins. As for shopping, there are loads of choice here with the high street, High Chelmer Shopping Precinct, Meadows Shopping Precinct and Moulsham St. All have lots of famous shops in them. As for going out, there are 3 Nightclubs worth mentioning. Dukes,Zeus and Reds. Dukes and Zeus cater more for the ...  Read the complete review
