View over Luton Part 2
February 2009, exactly thirty years later, and a great deal has changed, even though there is once again snow on the ground.
Trees and new housing on Beacon Road obscure the original vantage point. In order to get a view of the same scene a higher viewpoint was needed. This involved a scramble through thick scrub and in spite of the effort, the camera is still a bit to the left of its previous position.
Pilchers coach yard has gone and been replaced by the Village View Estate. The trees in Church Terrace are taller and covered in Ivy. The Maidstone & District bus depot has gone and has been replaced by the Tramways Estate. The tram power station is now modern industrial units.
It is mainly housing that provides continuity with the earlier view. The houses with mock tudor gables in Luton High Street are still there, just visible between the thick clumps of ivy, but of course the office block behind them has gone. The industrial buildings in Third Avenue can still be made out though they have changed colour somewhat.
The Coney Banks have survived relatively unscathed.
