Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Stations in Essex

The Centenary of Brentwood and Ongar Radio Stations

A hundred years ago Guglielmo Marconi was busy setting up telegraph links between the UK and countries across the world and was operating wireless stations in the west of Ireland and in Wales. After WW1 new advances in valves and electronic technology enabled wireless stations to be built closer to London. With the engineering and manufacturing facilities of the Marconi Company already set up in Chelmsford it was logical to build new wireless, or radio as it was becoming known, stations in Essex and Brentwood and Ongar were the chosen locations for the establishment of new European and Worldwide links. This book tells the story of these two radio stations from their establishment in 1921 until new technology and other factors saw their demise, Brentwood in 1967 and Ongar in 1985.
