Harlow - Images of England

This superb collection of 200 archive images contrasts two ends of a scale: from village days before the new town was thought of to the events, activities and people of modern Harlow.
George Taylor was asked by Harlow Council to record the town and its people through photographs. This books contains some of the images from the resulting archive, which comprises around 20,000 negatives, as well as some examples of much earlier photography in the old town, now preserved by Harlow Museum.
Harlow has built up an international reputation for its successful progression from a greenfield site to a planned town of 60,000 people and there is much in this book that will be remembered and enjoyed by today's residents.

Zusammenfassung

This book is part of the Archive Photographs series, which uses old photographs and archived images to show the history of various local areas in Great Britain, through their streets, shops, pubs, and people.
