The modern town of Chelmsford was created in the Middle Ages. At the time of the Domesday Book the land on the site of the modern town centre belonged to the Bishop of London. Over the millennium, the historic town grew and developed. In post war times the town recovered and developed significantly with a real boom in retail centres opening in the 70s and 80s. The town was then granted city status in 2012 and has continued its development as the only city in Essex, leading to the current city explored by residents and visitors alike.
