More about this scene
This is the new parade of shops built by Harlow Development Corporation. Dorringtons (right) is a local baker with several shops in and around Harlow. Welfords, the general store of Old Harlow (H22026, page 25) has a corner site. The Red Lion next to Prentice Place (centre right) has 17th- and 18th-century features behind later additions. During the Second World War, the Red Lion was an ARP post. The empty roads were typical of the day - at this time, cars and garages had not yet become an important factor in the new estates. The King's Head was demolished two years after this photograph was taken.
