Favourite Building in Harlow, Essex*

Art deco, contemporary, futuristic, tall, short...

You can tell us more about Harlow.

• Those not found in Harlow. Seriously, there are a couple of centuries-old (possibly Norman) churches still to be found in Harlow, the rest are modern and are utter monstrosities, like something out of Planet Of The Apes (which is quite fitting, when you think about the residents)
• Personally, I always thought the old grey Staple Tye had a certain charm. At the very least, it should have been preserved and used as an example to architecture students of How Not To Do It. The multi-storey carpark near the bus station (over the road from the college) is interesting, though ugly as hell. Attempting to negotiate one's way to the upper floors whill reveal that the building was designed by MC Escher after he ate half a pound of fly agaric mushrooms.
• has got to be the clock tower by the potter street roundabout. While the rest of harlow seems to be changing year by year. The clock tower is the one building that stays the same whilst the area around it turns from fields to church langley
• Willowfield Tower
• I love the Playhouse especially on a summers day!

• Ther are all unbelievably Sh*t!! Nearley the whole town is made up of council houses whic hare all the same and unbelievably expensive to live in if you rent privately. A lot of people had taken up the offers of buying their council houses and have made lots of money out of it with the recent property boom, enough so they could move out!
