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 They appear to have been replaced by 20th-century development perhaps as a result of the widening and re-alignment of Dunstable Road.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.

Luton: Footbridge over the ring road
The three-armed footbridge is a well-known landmark to anyone who has driven around Luton's ring road, and shows up nicely on the Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 scale mapping...

Lennon Court, Downs Road, Luton
Thanks to old maps it can be seen that these stepped blocks of flats with their heavy balconies were built on the site of 54 Napier Road and the side garden of No 1 Downs Road Image They first appear in part on an OS map of 1986.
