Caddington

I remember as a lad, when Elm Avennue was split in two,where the bungalows start there was a solid bar across the road,and the same in the Crescent. You could only get the bus at the Green, the 360, it was sixpence to Luton, and the bus went across the Green And on the corner of Chaul End Road was a school.
