Harlow

Harlow is a New Town designed to relieve the congestion of London in 1947. It has set residential and industrial areas. Its long history still survives though, in the rural parishes that surround ´The High´, its modern centre. ´The Lawn´ is the first tower block built in Britain in 1951, now listed for preservation. Wide range of sculpture. Markets take place on Monday (bric-a-brac), Tuesday and Thursday to Saturday.
