THE SANDFORD Mill Science Education Centre will be celebrating
International Marconi day with a day packed with activities. Guglielmo
Marconi, inventor of radio completed much of his work in Chelmsford and the
first regular entertainment broadcasts were transmitted from a hut in
Writtle in 1922, which now sits in the Engine house at Sandford Mill, in
Sandford Mill Road. IMD is held to celebrate Marconi's birth on April 25,
1874. There is an abundance of fun and educational activities to take part
in at Sandford Mill on April 25 with access to the Engine house and Barn
which store industrial heritage displays, the historic 1922 Marconi
broadcasting hut and Marine Radio cabins dating from 1900s to 1960s and
there will be demonstrations and live radio transmission from Chelmsford
Amateur Radio Society. John Bowen, from the society, will be giving a talk
entitled 'Saving lives at Sea up to and including the RMS Lusitania', which
he will repeat during the day.
