First talk in a new series by FOLAR and The Gardens Trust looking at iconic 20th C landscapes. David Allen, Director of Allen Scott Landscape Architects, will be presenting the historic background of Harlow Town Park in the context of the new town movement and the work of Sir Frederick Gibberd and Dame Sylvia Crowe, its development and decline through the 1960s-80s and Allen Scott’s subsequent Heritage Lottery Funded restoration scheme. Alison Fox, from Harlow Council, will talk about how the restored park was received, managed and what community involvement there has been since.
