Harlow | Essex | A Town Called..| 1975 

I always hope to catch sight of my mum on one of these old clips - no luck yet. Lived in Harlow since 1970. still here.

Excellent - It brought back so many memories of a much happy time. Thank you so very much for posting this.

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.

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 from 1954 until 2016 and moved when I retired!

Great video

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 ?

They have wonderful public art!

I lived in Harlow on and off from 1957 to 1995. We moved from Walthamstow. I ran a folk club at The Harlow Playhouse for a while

I loved the market

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. ..

This was the year I left school stewards comprehensive I lived in honey hill,believe it’s not there anymore anybody remember me Bradley ford

Why put adverts at the end? I just click back !

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?

I was there 1979 . I saw Bruce Lee's moive in playhouses, .

Looks a better place then,unfortunately gone down the pan over the years!!

Silence is golden, i assume.

i was born a year later but i remember much of the town before it got over developed and ruined. its now just a dumping ground for londons trouble.

If every one from harlow you meet outside of harlow didn't say harlow was shit that would be a start . And I'm not from harlow.

Watching in 2024 how many poeple in the film are alive today.

I went there in 1976 when they had the dolly factory and I stole a doll from there 😁😁😁😁😁

Had a mate from there name grant shimon, thought he was a big time gangster.

Harlow Town Police Station.

a beautiful town once with amazing people.now left to rot and be infilled with plastic house.came here in 57, no roads with chocking traffic. and full of beautiful London people.who all looked after each other.unrecognisable today. such a real shame. now filled with London drop out and immigration.

Seems a very quiet place. Totally silent.

Back when women wore a head scarf to hold their hair in place, and NOT for religious reasons. Harlow resident from 1969-1993 Its changed so much now and not for the better, £1 shops everywhere.

It looks lovely but I suspect a lot of people who actually lived there would disagree

Look at all them white English people, don’t see many of them anymore

every one is white

9/11 a lie
