Regent Street, Luton ? 1972
United Counties bus 945 stands in the small bus terminus area on Regent Street. The stand itself is now a car park, but all the buildings in the view have been swept away and replaced by modern commercial development.
Bus 945 is a Bristol KSW with ECW body, the last of its type to enter service with the company, in 1954, and at 18 years of age is well beyond the average life expectancy of a bus of that period.
This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761

Chapel Viaduct, Luton ? 1972
Fairly newly constructed as part of Luton's inner ring, it took its name from the Baptist Chapel, since demolished.
United Counties bus 945 is about to turn into the small bus stand at Regent Street, just behind the photographer, now a car park. It is a Bristol KSW with ECW body, the last of its type to enter service with the company, in 1954, and at 18 years of age is well beyond the average life expectancy of a bus of that period.

Northwest and downhill on Wellington Street, Luton
In a street of restaurants and fast food outlets, this four-storey building stands out. The datestone on the gable says 1906. While it might have been a hatmaker's (hatmaking was a major industry in Luton) it looks more like a former furniture showroom. It is seen square-on in Burgess von Thunen's
Image from 2013. In this photo, note the large Salvation Army charity shop on the right.
