Seems quite a few other people around here have come to check this place out, so I figured I'd contribute my few photos and video from this place. We visited on more than one occasion, photos on one day, video on the other. We were in a rush the first time, hence the small amount of photos...

Harlow ODEON, Essex – March 2017 Part of another massive backup I have going on here! I visited the old Harlow Cinema with a Non-Explorer friend back in March; Interesting access into this one that’s for sure. We visited this as part of a little South East road trip which was full of its...

Hi, I first saw pictures of this place on 28DL but dated 2012. Then further research found a report from December 2016, showing a lot of the features still intact. We weren't going to wait around, armed with a couple of beers and cameras, off we went. I was not expecting much, especially...

Stan Beare's name appears over the years to have been changed by local word of mouth to Beard. This is probably understandable as he was Harlow’s longest serving Barber. Not a lot seems to have been documented about Beare’s career but we do know from a newspaper clipping that he owned a barbers...
