More about Dunstable Bedfordshire
Dunstable is a town in the county of Bedfordshire,
with a population of 33,805 (2001 census). It lies on
the eastward tail spurs of the Chiltern Hills. These
form several steep chalk escarpments most noticeable
when approaching Dunstable from the north.
Prior to the Local Government Act 1972 coming into force
in 1974 Dunstable was a municipal borough. It is now a
civil parish in the South Bedfordshire district.
Dunstable lies on a crossroads of the ancient Roman road
of Watling Street, which is the modern A5 trunk road,
and the even older Icknield Way. In Roman times its name
was Durocobrivis. There are two theories concerning its
modern name. Firstly there was a famous robber, Dunn,
who gave his name to the town, Dunns stable. The Second
is that it comes Ifrom Anglo-Saxon Dunstaple, meaning
"Hill Market".
One of the reasons for the town's prosperity, and the
large number of Inns or public houses in the town, is
the fact that it was one day's ride (approx 35 miles)
from London, and therefore a place to rest and spend the
night. There are two Pubs which still have coaching
gates to the side that show this. The Sugar Loaf, in
High Street north, and The Saracens Head, High Street
south. The Saracens Head, normally a name given to pubs
frequented by Knights of the crusades, can be seen to be
considerably lower than the road to its front, witness
to the fact that the road has been resurfaced a number
of times during the lifetime of the pub. There are also
rumours of a series of tunnels running from the cellar
of the pub to the crypt of the priory to its rear.
Dunstable was the site of an Eleanor cross. The
Dunstable Priory Church of Saint Peter was founded in
1132 by Henry I and was later the setting for the
divorce between Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon,
which led to the separation of the Church of England
from the Roman Catholic Church. The first battles or
skirmishes of the English Civil War occurred in
Dunstable.
Dunstable's first railway opened in 1848. It was a
branch of the London and North Western Railway, joining
the West Coast Main Line at Leighton Buzzard. A second
railway linking Dunstable with Hatfield on the Great
Northern Railway via Luton opened in 1858. Passenger
services to Dunstable were withdrawn in 1965 and the
track between Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard was
removed. The line between Dunstable and Luton on the
Midland Main Line remained open for freight traffic for
many years and the track is still in place.
Dunstable was a significant market town, but its
importance diminished as the neighbouring town of Luton
grew. Latterly, much Dunstable's industry has been light
engineering providing vehicle parts for the Vauxhall
plant in Luton, but with the closure of this plant
Dunstable is following Luton into decline regarding the
manufacturing sector.
