History edit
The station was opened in 1842 as Harlow, on the Northern and Eastern Railway's line between London and Bishop's Stortford. It served the village of the same name, located on the London to Cambridge toll road. In the late 1940s, as the new town of Harlow was being built, the original village of Harlow was named Old Harlow and incorporated as a district in the new town. The station was renamed Harlow Mill on 13 July 1960, after the mill on the River Stort, just north of the station.
In 2023, a series of improvements were made at the station. The car park was expanded by ten spaces and a new 12-space cycle storage facility was installed, providing six more cycle spaces than previously. A new waiting room on platform 1 was also installed.[1]
