More about this scene
Many of the business on Wellington Street were trading until well into the second half of the 20th century. Certainly the pharmacy on the right existed in the 1950s, and the early form of department store sporting external gas lighting on the left of the street was a source of haberdashery and household linens during the same period. Wellington Street was also the site of Luton's first cinema, located in one of the buildings on the crest of the hill; it opened in the early 1900s.
