Five shops with flats above, formerly Victoria Villas, 8-16 Dunstable Road, Luton
The older 3-storey block in the centre of the photo is named rather oddly Victoria Villas on a 1:500 map of 1880. It appears to have always been so, and has not changed since apart from the insertion of shops, the nearest of which is on the corner of Cardigan Street. There were a further five properties immediately to the northwest named Brighton Terrace, nos 12-26, houses with long rear extensions. They appear to have been replaced by 20th-century development perhaps as a result of the widening and re-alignment of Dunstable Road. The view is from the pedestrian crossing at Inkerman Street and Cardiff Road.

Art Deco in Luton ? former Ritz Cinema, Gordon Street
It is not shown as such until an OS map of 1960, and as a half-vacant site on a small-scale map of 1938. Beautiful relief sculpture above the window was impossible to photograph from the street Image It is now occupied by Liquid and Envy – clubs, perhaps.
