More about this scene
As one of four major thoroughfares leading to the Town Centre, and formerly called Tower Hill, Manchester Street's importance was typified by the presence of many privately-owned shops and businesses and the quality of the buildings they occupied. Bridge Street on the left and Gordon Street on the right-hand side were the boundaries of 'old' Luton, and the architectural changes between the 19th and 20th centuries are clearly visible. There are few changes over the five-year period between these pictures, with the possible exception of increases in traffic flow.
