A MURAL representing how radio experts saved lives from the Titanic has been unveiled at Chelmsford Train Station.

Young people from the YMCA Young Carer’s Group teamed up with artists Nick Haydon and Victoria Button to celebrate the city’s connection with radio, visually telling the story of Marconi, the inventor of wireless who established the world’s first wireless factory in Hall Street.

The mural also depicts how his invention lead to 750 people being rescued from the Titanic as it sank, thanks to the wireless distress signals the ship was able to emit.

The project aims to educate people on the important connection Chelmsford City has with Marconi; create a connection with people to the city’s heritage; and inspire young people.

It was funded by train operator Greater Anglia, Chelmsford City Council and Essex County Council.
