SUMMARY:Historical High Town and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that High Town once had a cinema\, trams\, and even a windmill? Or that the end of High Town Road was chopped off by the Midland Railway company 160 years ago? Or that Wardown Park has a tree dedicated to a warship that Luton adopted during World War II? \nJoin us for a photographic journey centred on High Town\, from the 1860s to the present day\, with local historian and archivist Chris Grabham. Over two sessions you’ll discover some of the fascinating history and hear stories about this historic part of Luton. We’ll also look at some of the town centre’s lost buildings and see how the railways separated High Town from the centre of Luton. We’ll even stray over the border into Round Green! \nPart one takes place on Friday 14 August and part two is on Friday 21 August. You are welcome to attend just one of the talks\, but we recommend attending both to benefit from a fuller story of High Town and beyond. \nBook Historical High Town and Beyond Part One \nBook Historical High Town and Beyond Part Two \nThis event is part of the Luton 150 events programme\, celebrating the 150th anniversary of Luton becoming a borough in 1876. \nThere are a number of events taking place across the town this year to celebrate Luton’s heritage and look forward to the future of our town. \nTake a look at all the events taking place this year on the Step Forward Luton150 webpage. \nTake a look at Step Forward Luton’s Luton150 photo gallery.
