Harlow Essex Tour 1987

[@robbielucy121]

I've lived in Harlow all my life. I wish it looked like that today

[@vinbeara]

Great vid. Thanks for uploading, Harlow's certainly changed over the years, sadly not for the better. Vince

Lived in Harlow when i was 4 or 5 and loved going back each year. Parents always asked, where to, Hawaii, St Thomas, Japan, Barbados, or Italy? Me and my brother: "Harlow!" Always walked down to Andersons Bakery to have a nice jam donut dusted with sugar.

[@Scott1433]

I have been waiting for this video for ten years. Superb! Gilbeys reminds me of my childhood days. The driver looks familiar

[@toddgilbey3979]

I had a cousin who sued to work at Gilbeys :)

[@lpowell7912]

Amazing piece of local history. Thanks for sharing.

[@toddgilbey3979]

Now this is the Harlow I remember. The Water Gardens and the Harvey Centre are unrecognisable now!

[@catherineharman1033]

Thanks guys. Funniest sequelae of Post its I've read for a long time. I was in Harlow for a short time back in 1997. I do believe it has nice green areas rather than it is beautiful green areas. Regards, a South Australian

[@Crazyhorse73]

Trip down memory lane,nice one

[@FrancesandTruly]

I moved here in 1970 At first liked the way i could walk to the town centre without using the roads Loved walking my dogs through the woods Now days i just want to go back home to the sea

[@ginamoncada78]

I was born in 1978 and lived in the Dashes.I went to broadfields then to Burntmill...my roots are there :) I miss it so much!

[@djcranium1210]

[@toddgilbey3979]

Blimey, Yes, I went to Broadfields in the 90's when it was on School Road, it's now Freshwaters Primary Academy.

[@stevewildeagle965]

Abercrombie way from staple tye towards town centre at the start.👍🏻 Who else whistled in the Hardware store at Staple the on purpose, that guy hated it.😂

[@grasshoppers7742]

Cool cars and great open spaces with no traffic !

[@doggyvonne]

how neatly cut the verges are!

[@RedJoe10]

This is mega, I was clicking off the landmarks, the old Town Hall, the old Longman's building, the field where there is now a sports centre...

[@xvoui]

[@mattdeadbeat]

Got anymore old footage ?

[@frankyuptown]

[@wilrc6]

[@frankharlowcomputerrepairs4371]

yes

[@UPTOWNCLUB]

Harlow does have nice green areas. It has lots of good places . All towns have good and bad points.

[@UPTOWNCLUB]

How long was you visit then ? beacuse you must have stauyed here a while to have seen all that. I have lived here years and only seen part of what you say you have seen.

[@mattdeadbeat]

harlow 92 wasn't here yet... but gezz I miss it, now 2013 i don't recognize it :\ cracking video non the less!

[@The1JayD]

It's so clean!

[@FatToadRecords]

Love it - any of Katherines, mate?

[@frankharlowcomputerrepairs4371]

sumners yes

[@UPTOWNCLUB]

you seem to know so much about HArlow for soemone who just visited ? Please back up how you know the above. How did you find this information out ?

[@TimeTraveller3256]

Yeh how time flys it's 2023 now 😒

[@UPTOWNCLUB]

@duffman238 yes hes a friend of mine. how do you know him ?

[@UPTOWNCLUB]

[@Trainbuff2008]

Brilliant video love Harlow shame it's so busy now and not so clean looking nice shots of the station and the unusual office buildings and ski slope which are now non existent and think nearly household in had a Ford lol

[@frankharlowcomputerrepairs4371]

I still love watching this video

[@UPTOWNCLUB]

thanks for comments x there are some other videos on my page of harlow

[@jklash1987]

Can't belive how much the town has changed over there years!! The old Staple tye, the old town hall... I rmember the college and staple tye being knocked down when i was a kid ( I was born in 87)... I use to go down the ski slope when I was 11/12, until I came of a skibob and cut my face on the artificial snow... lol. The train station looks the same thoguh... Grotty n run down... Thus I travel from Epping, lol... I think the old town hall was demolised when I was 14... So much has changed!

[@Scott1433]

You obviously haven't been to many other places in England then. Have you ever been to Tottenham? Harlow is the garden of wonder in comparison

[@soviet1918]

I keep half expecting to see myself walking down a path in this video lol , that would be really weird though .

[@duffman238]

Is the driver in this video called Steve?

[@frankharlowcomputerrepairs4371]

yes Steve Felstead

[@frankyuptown]

somethings never change

[@scissorkicks]

I swear I could smell Gilbeys when you drove past it in the video.

[@zz-gh2xp]

I started at mark hall school in 87...

[@harlowcomputerrepairs7839]

amazing

[@UPTOWNCLUB]

so so different

[@marcymarc24]

Not a speed bump in sight.

[@CatchMyKn1fe]

Wow look at this place now

[@UPTOWNCLUB]

yes

[@corserine]

It is good to see the old town hall standing (at 09' 05''). I can't believe the Philistines at the council approved its demolition.

[@UPTOWNCLUB]

How long was your visit to Harlow ? You seem to know so much and have so much anger. However this is youtube for comments on videos rather than someone who has a lot of anger. I suggest you email Harlow Council or a Harlow Mp rather than leaving comments which are not related to the videos, Many thanks that you have a passion. All the best

[@UPTOWNCLUB]

@scissorkicks lol you are showing your age x

[@robnewman6101]

Harlow Town Police Station.

[@RedJoe10]

Oh do shut up. There is no way in the world you could ever hate Harlow half as much as we don't care.

[@oraclecomponents]

wow the old staple tie 7:00 in great clip the good old days !

[@stevewildeagle965]

Staple tye anyone else whistle in the hardware store, that guy hated it.

[@UPTOWNCLUB]

@MrSteve6130 dont beat around the bush say what you really feel lol

[@MikeyB992]

wow you are so infatuated with alleged corruption you must be that nice chap Mo Ghadami

[@UPTOWNCLUB]

At least my Harlow education taught me how to spell correctly. Your statement above, is full of grammar and spelling errors. I think you mean Spanish Islands. What is a Lifde?

[@ScottsConcept]

Okay, this is where you get publically embaressed over the internet by a 17 year old.. Might I start with your comment on Ripped Gym? You're completely wrong.. I train at Ripped Gym and not once have I seen steroids in use, they're actually all extremely friendly and welcoming. Now referring to some of your other comments, if the youth of harlow was so 'sad' or were all 'drug addicts' as you claim us to be.. Then would I have either the nerve or intelligence to prove you wrong? I rest my case.

[@mitchellperry714]

Wtf it used to be nice??

[@UPTOWNCLUB]

say what you really mean. Dont beat around the bush lol

[@zoerootsey]

I think your disguisting what your saying, How the hell can you go and say things about little kids like that, i honestly dont believe you know this town at all or the people here. And go get some anger management or something seriously!

[@UPTOWNCLUB]

yes
