Abstract:		 In June 2012, Archaeological Solutions Ltd conducted historic building recording at three surviving structures on the former Anglia Ruskin University campus site, Victoria Road South, Chelmsford. The Grade II Listed Anne Knight Building was constructed as the town's Quaker Meeting House in 1824. Though extensively modernised internally, it remains little altered from its original neo-classical form. Examination of the roof revealed a well-preserved structure of oak and Baltic softwood. The lower side-wings were, at the time of the survey suffering extensive water ingress and the effects of rot. The Frederick Chancellor Building was constructed in 1904-5 as the town's museum, library and art school, and is a typical Edwardian institutional building, utilising a mixture of modern construction methods, but dressed with eclectic architectural motifs and high quality materials. The general layout has been preserved despite modernisation and the building remains an attractive part of the urban streetscape. In 1931, the school was extended with the Law Building, which is a fairly unremarkable, but solidly built structure of its date, retaining an attractive and distinctive Art Deco facade, and typical early 1930s internal fittings such as its staircases and coloured glass in steel Crittall-type windows.
