Watching A New Town Grow.
A Memory of Harlow.
We moved to Harlow from Leyton shortly after Queen Elizabeth’s coronation. We were all given a commemorative book. Our house was in a row which was completed; the rest was a huge building site - magic for exploring kids!
I knew Diane Crouch who has written on this site. I went to Broadfields and Netteswell when they were built, but first had to go to Tanys Dell school and then was in the new group for Broadfields, but we had to get in a coach at the school each day and be shipped to Little Parndon school until the building of Broadfields was finished.
We had a lovely music room at Netteswell and I played violin. Benjamin Britten conducted us all at an end of term concert.
I have lived in the south west for a long time - what a nice surprise to see a familiar name from those days!
