Chelmsford has a long and interesting history starting in the pre-historic period (widespread 8,000 BC flint tools evidence), although it was the Roman period when the first proper roots were laid down in AD61, as it was a fortified staging post on the London (30 miles) to Colchester (22 miles) Road - the modern A12, situated at the meeting of the rivers Can and Chelmer where they were crossed by the old Roman Road.

It developed further as a medieval market town when in 1199 King John granted a Royal Charter for Chelmsford to hold a market (still here 800+ years later), eventually becoming the County Town and centre of local administration in 1218 and a City in 2012.

Industry has always flourished here as in the early days, materials were bought in by water from the sea at Heybridge along the ‘Navigation', the Canalisation of the rivers Chelmer and Blackwater in 1797 - now a largely unspoilt part of rural Essex with a footpath along its full length and beautifully maintained. Summer sees many a narrowboat, river craft or canoe cruising along it, with Papermill Lock a lovely place to visit halfway along the Canal.

The main part of Chelmsford is the merging of 21 parishes (Moulsham, Springfield and the surrounding villages like Danbury and Writtle, etc) to form one continuous developed area.
