One of the most interesting chaps in Harlow, is John Curry, Vice Chairman of Harlow Civic Society and renowned cyclist. Every time you have a conversation with him, it is like being fed fuel for the brain. This is because John knows so much about the history of Harlow, its architecture, and does all he can to preserve the Town's unique heritage. You don't have to agree with everything that John says (although much of what he suggests makes sense), but you can't help be drawn to his passion and commitment.
Yesterday, I met with John, in Broadwalk, just by the Trigon Sculpture (By Lynn Chadwick), a great example of the reason why Harlow has now been designated a 'Sculpture Town'. John's tireless work over many months has seen The Trigon view restored. Instead of being obstructed by unsightly poles, and telephone boxes, the sculpture can now be seen in all its glory, as John's constant lobbying has seen the Pole taken away and the BT kiosks moved farther down Broadwalk. Harlow is lucky to have such a man as John Curry. The picture shows John standing by The Trigon, - without unsightly pole!
