Demolish It Now Building
  • the briars estate needs demolishing, and i've heard it is going to be in 2012.
  • Just about all of it, starting with those god-awful "sculptures" if you can call them that.
  • Saint Mark's School
  • All roads, railways and rivers leading out of the town should be demolished so as to prevent the denizens from escaping (think about it - the world would never have been forced to suffer the horror that was Jade Goody). Geo-stationary satellites fitted with intelligence/independent thought/liberal attitude detection cameras should then be installed over the town, so that helicopter rescue missions can be sent in if there should be one of the very rare instances of somebody within the town giving a birth to a child with an IQ > 75, reading a book, thinking that there's nothing wrong with being black/gay/female/from Epping etc, since anyone with a mind so obviously superior to those of the rest of the residents deserves a chance out in the Better World beyond Harlow's accursed borders.
  • It has to be those flats in the wisants near milwards. When I drive past them I think I'm in Iraq not Harlow. Also how ugly is that great big chimney that towers above burnt mill school, that can go aswell
  • The Shark pub
  • Goodman House. It is quite a nice building but I have my reasons.
  • Terminus house...sooooooo ugly
  • The Watergardens Development especially ASDA
  • Terminus Building - ugh - what made them put that there?
  • council!!
  • bishops field could do with a make over oh and brockles mead
  • Sorrry to cause offense but the whole of the stow needs to be blown up! Come on council work your magic. . .
  • Sorrry to cause offense but the whole of the stow needs to be blown up! Come on council work your magic. . .
  • Terminus House needs to go, what an isaw!
  • most of harlow
  • Take your pick. Bishopsfield, The train station, Berecroft etc. Most of the town to be honest.
  • Millwards and Brockles Mead please xx
  • GET OUT OF HARLOW, IT IS WRONG
  • Replacement Staple Tye - boring and without character compared to what it replaced.
  • the council offoce.. oih yes they have just been knocked down!
  • The Town Hall and the Station but that will never happen because it is a listed building. Plus Dad's Wood housing estate should be destoryed and the West site of Harlow College rebuilt in its place as before!
  • Demolish the whole bloomin place! noone in their right mind should set foot in this place! The sign on the way into Harlow have even been vandalised to say welcome to Hell instead of welcome to Harlow!
  • warren says "flatten the concrete jungle three hills area without warning to the pikey residents and build a golf course complete with golf shop facilities "
  • The old Town Hall(soon to be!), Church Langley, Brockles Mead and most of the Staple Tye area, the Moorhen- mock Tudor is NOT clever!
  • whatever building the council live in... while they're in there
  • All the town centre, especially the YWCA/Angle. somebody really should get rid of it. I may be biased though, as i lived in that particular shithole for 18 months
  • My ex girlfriends house
  • The watergardens shopping centre - quick before it opens!!
  • Harlow
  • SmithKline and Beecham, Merck Sharpe and Dohme...vivisection labs.
  • mark hall school, because i also spent some of my worst days there, often cying in the toilet!!!!
  • Jumpin Jacs as long as all the mingin Birds get flattened with it!!!!
  • The 'secret' women's refuge in Orchard Croft. There's not a man in Harlow who doesn't know where it is and who hasn't stayed there at some time.

  • i dont got enough time 2 right em all
  • The whole place!!
  • I would like to see the square concrete box supposedly called a cricket hut demolished,situated opposite the Stow Library. I live on the otherside of the world but visit quite often and it is still there!!
  • Everything!
  • Council Offices should be flattened preferably with the money-wasting employees inside.
  • the crappy little shed thing near the college- what IS that?
  • Millenium.
  • Civic Centre please
  • The whole place!
  • Every thing grey, not skatable, attracts townies, doesn't play punk, the carpark with a building on,
  • Brays Grove
  • Dads Wood. Church Langley.
  • The WHOLE BLOODY LOT along with the Council and the pillocks that vote them in
  • Town Hall. Joseph Rank House. SmithKline Beecham building, eating up the pinnacles - looks like the emerald city. Maybe Fourth Avenue should be paved with yellow bricks.
  • The three storey houses in Orchard Croft, the ones that face onto the green. Now grade two listed for their 'architectral beauty'? Harlow Odeon, for not allowing wheelchair users.
  • The Jean Harlow looks like some has repeatedly vomited all over it and they probably have
  • Demolish Harlow completely. Please. It is the most horrible, bleak, depressing, litter-strewn, smelly, grey and awful place I have ever been in my life. Get rid of all the horrible lumps of metal posing as sculpture, and the hideous high-rise tower blocks, and the appalling lumps of concrete that were (for some unfathomable reason) considered fit for habitation. Where did I leave that nuclear bomb...?!
  • the jean harlow public house,It smells and the same pisshead/junkies occupy it all year round,which is a shame because it could become another Macdonalds.
  • PLEASE PLEASE SOMEONE,,please blow the whole freakin place up ,,,,
  • Semours Harlow...Why, cos I used to date a girl there
  • MFI - ghastly
  • Town Hall (complete with loony-left councillors)
  • Harlow College is so much in the red, it's unbelievable!! It is completely mis-managed and has it's priorities the wrong way round! The staff are friendly, but their hands are tied when it comes to the arrangement and management of courses. It really is a business now, not an educational institute.
  • The town hall is quite ugly but so is most of Harlow
  • The tower blocks and the town hall tower monstrosities
  • The Town Hall. The writing's been on the wall for years and the writing says "Wots the council doin' wiv my money?"
  • New Longmans building,the new SmithKlineBeecham building and the railway station.Somehow the railway station won awards for its Gibberd design.That was a long time ago and I suppose it looked modern then, it just looks dated and shabby now! The 2 new building I mention are cunningly designed to look like the same as the crappy old ones that were built in the sixties in Harlow.Something more inspiring would have been nice.While i'm on the subject that Sainsbury built next to the sportscentre should also be pulled down and replaced with a better sportcentre,bowling alley and ice rink.
