how neatly cut the verges are!

Oh, what went wrong? Once a nice place to live. A shlthole now.

yes changed so much but not always for the better

The council has let the whole town turn into the armpit of essex sadly

do they still do the tour for the bill?

issa good

Lived In Harlow 1960 to 1980, went to Nettswell, great times

Was a great place to grow up in 70/80’s. First ever proper job was working in Army and Navy Stores under the block in 89.

Amazing how some of it has changed while at the same time a lot hasn’t…. At all. the train station looks exactly the same.

female emancipation and double incomes, family breakdowns, the decline of marriage and childbirth, deindustrialisation, the inexorable rise of the motor car, US style shopping trends, migration from other nations/cultures - how could it remain the same today? It's awful. Thanks for uploading this uplifting film.

I was born in Harlow in '53. What depressing architecture / town planning. I can only imagine what it's like now. Migrated to sunny Australia in 1960. The best decision my parents ever made.

So sad that the wonderful Harlow Market has completely died. Priced out?

My family moved to Harlow in 1954 when I was 7 years old and we lived in The Downs until we returned N London in 1964. Harlow was a wonderful place in those days; everything new and fresh and with lots of green open spaces. Happy memories of Netteswell School. I will never forget my schoolfriends. I return on occasion for a sentimental stroll around the town. Regrettably, the place seems to have fallen victim to years of austerity and poor planning which has allowed a huge amount of over-development.

I just love cuddly Ken, I've recently uploaded an episode myself of the Kenny Everett Video Cassette here's the link if anyone wishes to check it out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G9iWmm8M_64.htmlsi=htOGjELFLejcssy4

i have wet myself

Trip down memory lane,nice one

I remember being involved with country dancing in the fifties at moot house when I went to the Downs school, this reminded me

There used to be a car park opposite where the bus station is now where that block of flats is and we want car washing there. Happy days

I started trampolining that year but didnt compete until the year after. Nikki was my teacher. How is this 30 years ago? 😮

I see American influences here in the open spaces, wide streets, parking lots and a central shopping center...very much like US suburbs at that time, albeit in a smaller scale.

blessed times

Great...as time go by...live in Harlow

What ever happened to the harlow town park shows ? I remember the beer tents and hanging on to my dad hand all day . I also remember eddie kid at the town park we don't get nothing like that anymore.

Kenny Everett: It's...A WRAP! Also The VHS Was Glitch But... Best Way To Say It's A Wrap

Great sound track

Series 22 Episode 21 (13th September 2008)

Oh so many happy memories! Like many others on this page, my family moved from the East End in the early sixties. I was 5. What a difference! Green fields, modern schools, endless hours of playing outside and not an adult in sight. We migrated to Australia in 1969. I was homesick for years. It seems we had the best of it. Thank you so much for these wonderful photos.

These photos bring back wonderful memories. I lived here in the sixties. It was a great place to grow up. We had the farm and fields at our back fence, a brand new school and endless places to play in safety. It was full of hope and optimism. My family migrated to Australia in 1969.It’s sad to hear how it has deteriorated.

What a shithole it is now

HI Frank. Great video. Help me out. I can't figure out where you and Robin were standing at the start of the video. Where were you?

amazing insight

i miss the old school

Yeh how time flys it's 2023 now 😒

Why was reg part of this I thought hes contract ended and they wouldn't let him back so he tried suicide... Its brilliant to see good old reg hollis though he was one of my favourites.

its crazy to think that now this school is gone, which my dad used to go to, and has been replaced with sir frederick gibberd college, which i am now going to

Harlow sure isn’t like that anymore 😳😟

What happened to the VHS??

My home town, I miss it
