History

[edit]

The facility has it origins in the Chelmsford Union Workhouse, which was designed by William Thorold and completed in 1837.[1] After a fire in 1886, it was replaced by a new workhouse, designed by Fred Chancellor, which was completed in 1889.[1] The facility joined the National Health Service as St John's Hospital in 1948.[2] After services transferred to Broomfield Hospital, St John's Hospital closed in November 2010.[3] The buildings were subsequently demolished and the site redeveloped for residential use.[3]
