Dunstable Road, Bury Park 1950s

Dunstable Road at junction Kenilworth Road

Three generations of shop corner at junction of Kenilworth Road and Dunstable Road. Sydney Lane’s Shoe and Boot Stores was in Chapel Street in 1906 but by the 1920s it had moved here. By the 1930s the shop had turned into Hodgson’s Library (until the 50s) and Snowden’s radio and television store extended the corner space, staying here until 1979. The original Sydney Lane store is still recognisable today as The Claims Company.
