More about this scene
This is the junction of George Street, Castle Street and Chapel Street - three titles that follow the 19th-century fashion for objective street names. George - after the monarchs; Castle - because that was the road leading to Robert Waudari's castle (Luton was a gift from King Henry VI); Chapel - because the road led to the Wesleyan chapel. The shops to the right show physical evidence of Luton's ability to graft 20th-century fronts onto 19th-century buildings.
