Description
Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import.
The site of a possible Marconi Radio Station is marked on the 1921 Ordnance Survey map (Essex LW.5).
This shows a small building with a mast to its rear, the suggestion that it might be a radio station is reinforced by its proximity to the Marconi Signal Station in Hall Street. No trace of the features shown on 1921 now survive and a 1960s house occupies the plot. <1> <2> <3> <4>
