Chelmsford, Anne Knight Building

A nightime view of the Grade II listed 'Anne Knight Building' in Duke Street in Chelmsford (UK).

 

The former Quaker Meeting House was built in 1824 and was renamed after Quaker and feminist pioneer Anne Knight in 1957.

 

The Anne Knight building formed part of the Chelmsford Institute of Higher Education , Anglia Polytechnic University and Anglia Ruskin University central campus site for many years.

 

The building is shown here fully restored after undergoing an extensive renovation after years of decline. It now forms an integral part of the new City Park West development which replaced the University buildings directly behind in Park Road.

 

This is a good effort by the developers to restore a neglected icon of the city.
