Former Regent Theatre (cinema), Moulsham Street, 1990
This closed as a cinema in 1975, having opened in 1913 as a theatre/cinema. It became a bingo hall, now a night club currently called Bar and Beyond. It has grade II listed status for its facade and interior, this side view of the rear part is not its best feature. This 1990 view is now obscured by later development.

Premises behind the old Regent, Chelmsford, 1990
These were, at least in part, plumbing suppliers. Now demolished and built over, although the Regent survives as a night club.

Former Odeon picture theatre, Baddow Road, 1990
A rear view of the 1748 seat cinema which opened as the Ritz in 1935. It was renamed in 1947 and closed in 1981. This view in early 1990 shows it semi-derelict but so far spared in the redevelopment going on around it. It did not last much longer, and was replaced by a multi-storey car park.

Moulsham Bridge, Chelmsford
Handsome single-arch bridge by John Johnson in 1785-87. It is built of Portland stone with Coade stone paterae (see far left). It is also known as the Stone Bridge. Grade II listed.
Johnson (1732-1814) was one of a breed of skilled, provincial builder-architects who, during the C18th and C19th, created substantial parts of the built fabric of the country that we see today. He practised mostly in Essex, where he was County Surveyor 1782-1812, Suffolk and the east Midlands. As well as public commissions arising from his surveyorship, he built up a considerable country house practice, and engaged in speculative development in London. An unsuccessful banking venture, however, left him bankrupt. Colvin's Dictionary of British Architects describes him as an "able designer in a late Georgian manner ... although not marked by much individuality, his work is always elegant".
