Harrow Then & Now

The London Borough of Harrow has seen dramatic changes over the decades, moving gradually away from its countrified roots to become a bustling and diverse urban centre. Local historian Don Walter`s view that `Harrow is not the place it was` is evident in this selection of archive images of Harrow`s streets over the last century, but modern Harrow has changed both a huge amount and surprisingly little over the last 100 years, due both to population growth and the clever actions of far-sighted town administrators of decades past. Placing these archive images alongside beautiful modern photography of the same views today and fascinating informative captions, “Harrow Then & Now” takes us on a tour of the changing face of this historic area, from the modern central streets to the beautifully preserved historic school in Harrow on the Hill.
