These flats first appear on an OS map of 1938 and were my first home for three or four years from 1944. To the south was a recreation ground, 'The Rec', and the Laporte chemical works. We moved to a corner house and pharmacy at No 453 before moving to Torquay in 1953, soon after the Coronation. Today the very busy A505 Dunstable Road connects to the M1 at Junction 11, about 1·5 km to the west.
