OUR next three interviews are women from Hungary. The influx of residents from Eastern Europe has been a welcome boost to the make up of the town.

We went up to the green opposite St Mary Magdalene Church to interview Flora Whelehan about her home town of Pecs and among other things, her love of the clarinet.

To mark the town’s 75^thanniversary, Harlow Council and Your Harlow have launched a project which records the diverse history, heritage, and culture of the people and groups which are part of modern-day Harlow.

The Harlow at 75 project is made up of audio-visual recordings of conversations with both individuals and groups that explores their lives abroad before resettling in Harlow. The project reflects that we are a local but global new town and explores themes such as the definition of “Home”.
