Z1691/1

Photographs of Luton taken by Mr James George Rhind (1915-1995)

The original order of the material in this collection has not been maintained. The photographs in this series have been listed alphabetically by street name using the name of the street that appears to be the focus of the picture. Where this is unclear, such as in a panoramic view or it has not been possible to identify a location, then the image has been listed in Z1691/9. The photographs are listed by consecutive property number, not odds then evens. Street names and numbers are contemporary to when the photographs were taken where possible using maps and 1939, 1968, 1972 and 1975 street directories. However, due to the amount of building work and changes that Luton has undergone this has not always been possible and modern street names and numbers have been used. Information for some locations has also been provided from visitors to two events held at Luton Central Library in September and November 2018. This information has been checked where possible. Where this has not been possible the item entry makes it clear that information has come from a contributor. Where discrepancies occurred the Street Directory/map was used followed by the most frequently occurring response by contributors. The street directories have been used to provide approximate dates. This series also includes two scrapbooks of photographs (Z1691/1/69 and Z1691/1/70). Please see the attached pdf document for a list of the contents.
