    Who agreed to knock down the iconic town hall? The water gardens and town centre are completely different now. Business and money is obviously more important than a well planned town centre that was originally intended. Shame on these dark times.

      It was in a terrible state structurally. The observation level had been closed for years as it was unsafe.

    Lived in Old Harlow from ‘70-‘76. Loved it.
    The kid with the black hair dismounting and going into the bike shop - son of the owner, I’m sure. We were in the Scouts together.

    I lived in Harlow in the late 90s for a few years before heading back to London, had a few interesting nights at the Jean Harlow Pub, I'm sure others looking at this video would remember that establishment. Struggling to remember the name of the nightclub near the Market Sq ?

    Some of these people were born in the 1800's. Seems crazy to think that.

    Great Woolworths in the 1980s. Harlow was a retail draw in those days....2 or 3 retail parks later look at the place now. ..

    I first visited Harlow in 1979. There used to be a night club in town centre, I can’t remember the name, I think it was Tiffany’s. Also, the council - GLC used to put on music events in the town park during the summer.
    There were Very few black People living in Harlow back then.
    Back in the day. Harlow used to housing waiting List for young engaged couples. How forward thinking is that ?
    I wonder what it’s like now?
