FIVE years ago, we interviewed Ram Gulrajani about his life in Harlow. We hardly mentioned those years growing up in Gibraltar.

In 2022, we returned to Ram’s home on the tiny British Overseas Territory on the southern tip of Spain.

For some it may be a tiny rock where barbary apes live but as Ram says: “Yes but for tiny place it sure packs a punch!”

To mark the town’s 75th anniversary, 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”.
