It certainly pays to look past what is obviously in your eyeline in Harlow. As well as all the random Sculptures dotted around the place, often where you least expect them, there are also assorted plaques within the New Town, and in the Old Town in particular the architecture is well worth a second look.

This Plaque appeared in the Water Gardens about a year ago - it balances the one already in place at the opposite end, to Harlow Town Designer Sir Frederick Gibberd.

In Old Harlow, the key is often look up slightly. As well as some fantastic buildings, you can find things like this lurking within the conservation areas:

(More information on the Conservation area that Oddfellows Terrace falls in can be found at THIS LINK)  and as for the Oddfellows, their own website tells us "The Oddfellows has no political or religious affiliations - membership is open to all, regardless of age, sex, political persuasion, religion, race or disability. Quite simply: We encourage members to build upon their friendship networks with others across the UK, and overseas, by socialising and showing mutual support." - how nice! They are a Friendly Society who have been in operation for over 200 years, and as you can see above their Terrace in Old Harlow houses a World War 1 memorial.

I little further on in Market Street we find the Sundial above, with it's very sensible message, and a date of 1759, showing just how much of a baby the New Town really is in comparison to its older sibling.

What have YOU seen when you've been out and about in the town? Tell me about it and I'll see if I can track it down, and photograph it.
