More about Luton Authority Area
Luton is a town and local government district in
England, located 33 miles (50km) north of central
London. Historically it was part of the county of
Bedfordshire, but since the 1990s it has been an
administratively independent unitary authority. However
it remains part of Bedfordshire for ceremonial purposes.
It is in the East of England region, but was formerly in
South East England region, and in common usage is still
often considered to be in the South East.
Luton is the home town of the Luton Town F.C. football
club. Their nickname, "The Hatters", dates back to when
Luton had a substantial hat-making industry.
London Luton Airport is situated to the south-east of
the town. The main campus of the University of Luton is
located in the town centre. From 1905 until 2002 the
town had a Vauxhall Motors car factory. Dunstable is
situated to the west of Luton. The M1 motorway runs
between Luton and Dunstable though it does not form the
border as parts of Luton are to the west of it.
Luton has a Site of Special Scientific Interest at
Warden Hills on the outskirts of the town.
The agriculture base of the town changed in the 16th
century with a brick making industry and in the 17th
century when the hat making began. By the 18th century
the hat making industry, especially straw hat
manufacture, dominated the town as its only significant
industry. Hats are still produced in the town on a
smaller scale. Luton Hoo, a nearby large country house,
was first built in 1757.
The town grew strongly in the 19th century, in 1801 the
population was 3,000; by 1850 it was 10,000 and by 1901
it was almost 39,000. This rapid growth was fuelled by
the arrival of the railway in 1858, which bypassed
Dunstable, a nearby market town, which until then had
overshadowed Luton. The town had its first town hall
opened in 1847 and had a complete water and sewerage
system by the late 1860s. Luton was made a borough in
1876 and the current football club was founded in 1885.
In the 20th century, the hat trade severely declined but
was replaced by newer industries. Vauxhall Motors opened
a car plant in the town in 1905, along with an
Electrolux household appliances plant, followed by other
light engineering businesses. The town had a tram system
from 1908 until 1932 and the first cinema was opened in
1909. By 1914, the town's population reached had 50,000.
The original town hall was burned down in 1919 during
the victory celebrations at the end of the First World
War; local people including many ex-servicemen, had been
refused the use of a local park to hold celebratory
events, and so made a bonfire of the town hall (See
article on the Luton riots in External links, below). A
replacement town hall was completed in 1936. Luton
Airport was opened in 1938, owned and operated by the
council. In World War II, the town suffered a number of
air raids, although only 107 people died there was
extensive damage.
Post-war, the slum clearance continued and a number of
substantial estates of council housing were built,
notably at Farley Hill, Stopsley, Limbury and Leagrave.
The M1 passed just to the west of the town from 1959 and
a substantial covered shopping centre, the Arndale
Centre, was opened in 1972. The Arndale Centre has had a
major refurbishment, including a new glass roof, which
has transformed the area.
Flights from the airport increased substantially from
the 1960s as new charter airlines (e.g. Court Line) flew
from there rather than the London airports. Despite
problems in the 1970s, a new terminal was added in 1985.
The airport was renamed London Luton Airport in 1990,
just before Ryanair took its business to Stansted. The
growth of new low cost flights rejuvenated the airport
and passenger numbers more than doubled from 1992 to
1998. In 1999, a new terminal was added and a new
railway station, Luton Airport Parkway, was opened.
Luton enjoys good rail connections via its three
stations (Luton, Luton Airport Parkway and Leagrave) to
London and through to Brighton and Sutton on First
Capital Connect's Thameslink line and north to Derby,
Leicester, Nottingham and other cities on the Midland
Mainline route provided by Midland Mainline. There are
plans to re-introduce 24 hour rail services to Luton and
Luton Airport Parkway.
