Getting here

How to find the Essex Record Office

We are located on Wharf Road, Chelmsford, Essex CM2 6YT. 

The public entrance is reached from the riverside path. (Please note that if you ask Google Maps to provide you with walking directions it takes you to the back of the building.)

By bike

The cycle path which runs along the river is temporarily closed. The main access route for the Essex Record Office at the moment is from Wharf Road. There are cycle racks by the public entrance. 

 

By train or bus

We are a 20 minute walk from the railway station and bus station in Duke Street. There are also bus stops at the southern end of Springfield Road and on Parkway, both of which are a short walk from us.

 

By car

There are three parking spaces for Blue Badge holders close to the public entrance to the Record Office, accessible by a driveway from Wharf Road.

There are several public car parks which are a short walking distance from ERO:

Baddow Road

Meadows Retail Car Park

Q-Park Meadows

Meadows Surface Car Park
