Days With Gran

A Memory of Luton.

I remember going with my Grandma Setchel to the Corn Exchange and going and having a cup of tea in the cafe there, and also the toilets. I also remember Park St roundabout and the dentist there where I had my first tooth out. Just down the road, on the other side, was the Cock Inn and a couple buildings further was the Cattle Market. On the other side there was a fish and chip shop on the corner of the alley (through to St Marys Church) and further down, just before Crawley Green Rd was a garage and car sales room. When Malcolm McDonald (the footballer) got transfered from Newcastle to Luton for a million pounds he was given a job at this car sales room. Just round the corner was The Salvation Army Citadel where my dad went as a young boy. I used to live at the top of Crawley Green Rd in Brooms Rd just off of Hart Lane Rd. I went to Hart Lane School and did most of my growing up in that area.
