Photo of Stopsley, The Memorial c.1965

More about this scene

The photograph is of the War Memorial to the dead of both World Wars sited on the original Stopsley village green. Growth and proximity to Luton has meant that village has given way to developed suburb. The part that developers have played in the growth of the Luton conurbation is epitomised by the building in the far distance. This was the headquarters of H C Janes Limited, the major developer and builder across the whole of Bedfordshire during the 1950s and 60s. The building to the right of the picture is Stopsley Primary School.

I used to sit and wait for the Number 11 bus, if I remember correctly on the bench facing the post office, and I am ashamed to say I never really took in the names on the war memorial or realized what they had done for us all. I now live in Holland and the next time I am in Stopsley for a visit I will look again at the names and remember.
