Description
2013. Heritage assessment.
The original Harlow Station of 1841 served the village of Harlow now, since the creation of the New Town, known as Old Harlow, and was renamed in 1960 after the nearby Mill on the River Stort adjacent to Harlow Lock on the navigation. The original station building had a central block of three bays and two cross-wings on either side. The east wing has been demolished and what remains of the station is much altered and plainer than when it was built. The platforms are staggered as at Roydon and Elsenham, the down platform is to the west while the up platform is to the east of the A1184 overbridge. <1>
