Demolition at Maidenhall Primary School off Dunstable Road, west Luton
Works for the Projects Design and Delivery Team of Luton Borough Council were being carried out by Gray and Sons Builders Ltd. I was a pupil here briefly in the early 1950s. The 'Maiden' element of the name may recall Maiden Common Farm, shown nearby on late 19th-century maps.

I was a pupil here briefly in the early 1950s. Schools didn't have slogans then; now it's 'Believe Achieve Inspire'.

Dunstable Court flats, Dunstable Road, Luton
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.

Dunstable Court flats, Dunstable Road, Luton
Dunstable Court consisted of three blocks of six flats each. No 13 is omitted. They first appeared on an OS map of 1938 and one of them was my first home from 1944. At the back a level recreation ground, the Rec, had been bulldozed by the Corporation out of a shallow valley-side.
