Harlow Civic Water Gardens

Harlow was one of the initial "New Towns", which were designed as "overspill" areas. They were the follow-up of "Port Sunlight" and the Rowntree towns of pre-Second World War years, which were social engineering's answers to the slums of the East end of London and many Northern industrial towns.

Frederic Gibberd was the architect, who lived in the area himself and understood its problems.

He designed a water garden for the enjoyment of the citizens, and asked me to design and execute eight gargoyle fountains. Some of these are illustrated here.
