This will be of precisely no interest to anyone who doesn’t live in Chelmsford.

However…

I always regretted not taking a picture of the bus station before they knocked it down. And I always regretted not taking a picture of the half-finished Kings Tower as they built it up.

So, not to repeat the mistake, here’s the pile of rubble that now constitutes what was once the town-centre Anglia Ruskin University, soon to become a 20-odd story block of flats.

Such a shame. The campus wasn’t pretty, and the university does now have smart new buildings in the north of town.

Anyhoo, the picture below shows the state of the site right now, as the knocking down is well under way and the building has yet to begin.

The shonky angle is down to stitching together two images to make a single picture.
