History

Etymology

The name Harlow derives from the Anglo-Saxon words 'here' and 'hlaw', meaning lberry Hill, which was used as the moot or meeting place for the district. The original village, mentioned in the Domesday book, developed as a typical rural community around what is now known as Old Harlow, with many of its buildings still standing. The Domesday Book (ˈduːmzdeɪ bʊk also known as Domesday, or Book of Winchester) was the record of the great survey Old Harlow is the historic part of the new town and district of Harlow, Essex in England.

Early history

There was a Roman fort or settlement dating from around the 3rd century. The Latin word castra, with its singular castrum, was used by the ancient Romans to mean buildings or plots of land reserved to or constructed for use as a military The 3rd century is the period from 201 to 300 in accordance with the Julian calendar in the Christian / Common Era. Archaeological excavations during the 1970s unearthed a Roman temple and a mosaic floor, itself built on top of an earlier Iron Age temple. Fanum At the temples Romans prayed and made Ritual Worship Offerings of a small gift or Animal sacrifices to their Roman Art History Mosaics of the 4th century BC are found in the Macedonian palace-city of Aegae, and they enriched the floors of Hellenistic A floor is the walking surface of a room or vehicle Floors vary from simple dirt in a cave to many-layered surfaces using modern technology This article is about the archaeological period known as the Iron Age for the mythological Iron Age see Ages of Man. A temple (from the Latin word Templum) is a structure reserved for religious or spiritual activities such as prayer and sacrifice or analogous rites The oldest finds in the town were axe heads made in about 6000 BC. The axe, or ax, is an implement that has been used for millennia to shape split and cut Wood, Harvest timber, as a Weapon [3]

The new town

The new town was built after World War II to ease overcrowding in London at the same time as the similar orbital developments of Basildon, Stevenage and Hemel Hempstead. Below is a list of some of the new towns in the United Kingdom created under the various New Town Acts of the 20th century World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including London ( ˈlʌndən is the capital and largest urban area in the United Kingdom. Basildon (ˈbæzɪldən is a New Town located in south Essex, England at. Place-name meaning Stevenage may derive from Old English stiþen āc / stiōen āc / stithen ac (various Old English dialects Hemel Hempstead is a Town in Hertfordshire, England, United Kingdom with a Population of 81143 at the United Kingdom Census The master plan for the new town was drawn up in 1947 by Sir Frederick Gibberd. Sir Frederick Ernest Gibberd (7 January 1908 - 9 January 1984 was an English Architect and Landscape designer Gibberd was born in Coventry [4] The development incorporated the market town of Harlow, now a neighbourhood known as Old Harlow, and the villages of Great Parndon, Latton, Tye Green, Potter Street, Churchgate Street, Little Parndon and Netteswell. Market town or market right is a legal term originating in the Medieval period for a European settlement that has the right to hold Markets Old Harlow is the historic part of the new town and district of Harlow, Essex in England. The town is divided into neighbourhoods, each self supporting with their own shopping precincts and community facilities. Harlow has one of the most extensive cycle track networks in the country, connecting all areas of the town to the town centre and industrial areas. The cycle network is mostly comprised of the original pre-new town roads.

The town centre is notable being the location of Britain's first pedestrian precinct,[5] and first residential tower block, The Lawn,[6][7] constructed in 1951; it is now a Grade II listed building. A tower block, block of flats, or apartment block, is a multi-unit High-rise Apartment building. A listed building in the United Kingdom is a building or other structure officially designated as being of special architectural historical or cultural significance From 1894 to 1955 the Harlow parish formed part of the Epping Rural District of Essex. Epping Rural District was a local government district in Essex, England from 1894 to 1955 [8] From 1955 to 1974 Harlow was an urban district. In the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, an urban district was a type of Local government district that covered an Urbanised area [9]

The town centre, and many of its neighbourhood shopping facilities have undergone major redevelopment, along with many of the town's original buildings. Most of the town's buildings, built at a time when concrete was widely used in construction, now suffer from conditions relating to this, both practical and aesthetic. Subsequently, many of the original town buildings, including most of its health centres, the Staple Tye shopping centre and many industrial units have been rebuilt. The most notable of these has been the demolition of Gibberd's original town hall, a landmark in the town, and its replacement of a new civic centre and shopping area.

Redevelopment

The town has already experienced expansion, with the Church Langley estate completed in the 1990s, and its newest neighbourhood "New Hall" nearing completion. The Harlow Gateway Scheme is currently underway, with the relocation of the Harlow Football Stadium to Barrow's Farm in early 2006, and the building of a new hotel, apartments and a restaurant adjacent to the railway station being complete. The Harlow Gateway Scheme is a major Urban development project that is underway in Harlow, Essex, England. The next stage of this scheme involves the completion of the 530 eco-homes being built on the former sports centre site, and the centre's relocation to the nearby former college playing field site.

Other major developments under consideration include both a northern and southern bypass of the town, and significant expansion to the north, following the completed expansion to the east. The Harlow North[10] plans, currently awaiting permission, involve an extension of the town across the floodplains on the town's northern border, into neighbouring Hertfordshire. Hertfordshire (ˈhɑːtfədʃə(r, abbreviated Herts) is a ceremonial and non-metropolitan county in the East region of The plan is supported by MP Bill Rammell, all three political groups on Harlow Council, and the East of England Regional Assembly. The East of England Regional Assembly is the regional assembly for the East of England region of the United Kingdom. It is opposed by Hertfordshire Council Council, East Herts Council, Mark Prisk, MP for Hertford and Stortford in whose constituency the development would be and all the parishes concerned. The opposition is co-ordinated by a local group based in neighbouring East Hertfordshire. [11]. An attempt to have Harlow North designated an "Eco Town" was rejected by the Minister for Housing , Caroline Flint, MP in April 2008

The south of the town centre also underwent major regeneration, with the new civic centre being built and the town's famous water gardens being redeveloped, a landscape covered by English Heritage. English Heritage is a Non-departmental public body of the United Kingdom government ( Department for Culture Media and Sport) with a broad remit of With this came a range of new shops, a major superstore and several restaurants and cafés. It is likely that this development will be continued throughout the rest of the shopping district, with plans awaiting planning permission to be granted.

Economy

Built originally with most employment in manufacturing, with two major developments of the Pinnacles and Templefields providing the biggest employment to the region, Harlow has shifted in several directions.

The original manufacturing took the form of a Biscuit factory, on the Pinnacles. A biscuit (ˈbɪskɨt is a small baked product the exact meaning varies markedly in different parts of the world Owned and run as a Co-Op, it provided employment to the town for over 50 years, before closing in 2002. It has since been demolished and the site is now small industrial units. At its peak, the factory employed over 500 people. At the time of its closure the owner was Burton's foods limited. An £8 million production line, installed in 1999, was left to rust in the car park at the closure of the factory.

Environment

A major feature to the new town is its green wedges, with over 1/3rd of the town being parkland or open space. Harlow Town Park is one of the largest urban parks in Britain, and occupies a large chunk of the central town. Each estate is also separated by open space (spitting distance).

The town is in a very dry area of the UK, with nearby Maldon being the driest area in the country. Maldon (ˈmɔːldən locally /ˈmɒldən/ is a town on the Blackwater estuary in Essex, England. In 2006 the entire South East of England was affected by drought, with Harlow covered by a water restriction order, preventing unnecessary use of water. Snowfall caused chaos in early 2006 and 2007, as it did in 2003. The heatwave of the same year also saw the UK hit its highest ever recorded temperature, a short distance away in Gravesend, Kent. The area is generally much milder than most other parts of the UK.

The summer of 2006 also saw flash floods hit many parts of the town, causing major roads through the town to become temporarily impassable, and severe damage to many properties around the town. As a result the council is reviewing its flood defences and drainage systems.
