Dunstable, a town in Bedfordshire, has a rich history dating back to Roman times. Watling Street, which crossed the ancient Icknield Way, was built during this period, and a posting station and market town called Durocobrivis developed at the crossroads. When the Romans left Britain, Durocobrivis was abandoned, but Henry I created a new town here in 1109 and added a royal residence and a priory. Dunstable's main industry was wool cloth, but it was later replaced by strawhat manufacturing, brewing, and lace-making. Despite its small size, it was an important stage-coaching town. In the nineteenth century, new industries arrived, including printing and engineering, and when the railway reached the town in 1848, the population and building development increased. In the twentieth century, further expansion and growth occurred with industries such as Vauxhall Motors. Paul Rabbitts' book, 50 Buildings, focuses on the architectural heritage of Dunstable, featuring a fascinating variety of structures and landmarks that reveal the town's history and development. Illustrated throughout, this engaging and accessible portrait of Dunstable's architectural history will be of interest to residents, visitors, and local historians alike.
