IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Lords Mead, DUNSTABLE, LU6 2FB

Clearly a very old building with some more recent additions. The entrance is from the High Street and the farm buildings are now completely surrounded by more recent housing. The name of the farm may be a reference to the moat that surrounded the castle in Eitone (as the village used to be known) - though that moat still exists on Park Farm, which is built on the site of the castle, to the Northwest of the village. It is possible that this was once a moated manor, but I have been unable to find any reference to it as such.

Threshers occupies a large part of the ground floor of this shops and housing development on the corner of High Street and Wallace Drive. Wallace Drive takes its name from the Wallace family who were major landowners in the area. The estate it leads into was the site of Wallace Nurseries and some of the streets within the estate are names after plant species that they cultivated.

From the High Street

Looking through the village towards the Dunstable Downs.

Located at 18 High Street LU6 2DP, this building dates from the late 19th Century and was opened in April 1901 for the men of the village to meet instead of being in the numerous local public houses that existed at the time. The upstairs consisted of a billiard table and comfortable chairs, with a coke-burning stove for heating. Downstairs provided reading rooms, with coffee available over a stable door in the kitchen. In the late 1990s, the building was refurbished by Eaton Bray Parish Council. Today, it is used as a meeting place for various groups including the Parish Council and the Youth Group. It is also available for hire, with the main hall suitable for approximately 50 people with kitchen facilities, and two smaller rooms available for say committee meetings.
