Situated in Latton Street, this post has the following wording: HARLOW see something different Latton Street The cycle track here is one of the original roads that threaded through the area, Latton Street. In common with many old country lanes in Harlow, the town's designers used them to allow cyclists and pedestrians to cross the town away from the noise and dirt of vehicle traffic, as if in the countryside. The fields around are part of a 'green wedge'. These were included in the design of Harlow New Town to bring the countryside to the heart of the town and to separate the residential neighbourhoods. This wedge continues through to the town centre. The Clock Tower along the lane was built by the Revd Joseph Arkwright in 1864 in order to ensure the punctuality of his estate workers. Inscribed over the entrance is the text 'Work while it is day'. For more information visit "www.harlowcivicsociety.org.uk" "www.visitharlow.com"
