About

Old Harlow forms the historic core, centred around its medieval market square and St Mary’s Church. The area retains a village-like character with its mix of timber-framed buildings, traditional pubs, and independent shops along the High Street. The surrounding residential streets feature a combination of older cottages and later developments, creating a settled neighbourhood atmosphere distinct from the newer parts of town.

Adjacent Newhall is a large, master-planned 21st-century urban extension built on former greenfield land. Its layout emphasises modern architectural design, open green spaces, and sustainable living principles, with many homes meeting high environmental standards. A network of footpaths and cycleways connects its distinct neighbourhoods, which are arranged around a central square intended to foster a community hub, representing a deliberate contrast to the older town centre.
