Chelmsford carnival musters at the livestock market, 1980
Beyond the market to the left is the River Chelmer, and beyond on the right, Victoria Road. The open vehicle in the foreground is a fire engine of the Marconi Fire Brigade, although probably not operational as such by 1980. The livestock market later moved out of town, but closed in 1999. I am at a loss to remember the fairly elevated vantage point!
