Video and pictures showing the history of Harlow

Yesterday afternoon, having a well-earned cuppa at Cllr Lee Dangerfield's home, he showed me a wonderful You Tube video, with haunting music, that shows various pictures of Harlow as it was being built as a New Town. If I am not mistaken, I am sure this film was shown in the Harlow Library a few years back. Lee put the video on the very right side of my blog, so you can have a look at it, just by scrolling down a little.

By chance, I also came across a website which has loads of prints of Harlow through the decades. Some are for sale. Have a look HERE and HERE. I particularly like the early pictures of Broadwalk and the Market. Elsewhere on the site, there are some great old pictures of Roydon High Street too. I love looking at old photographs and these ones show so much that is unique about the past history of Harlow Constituency.
