Early Asian Shop - Bury Park Road
Unknown
This is a picture that appeared in the Luton News in September 1969 in a special feature on Bury Park. It shows Mirza Khan and Zafar Qureshi at a shop in Bury Park Road that sold Pakistani, Indian and English food.
The paper reported: “In it, one can buy chapattis, lime pickle or Heinz baked beans. It is the only shop in Luton of its kind and business is brisk.”
It was the second Asian shop after the Kashmiri shop in the middle of (number 59) Oak Road.
This was located behind Barclays bank. They were 3/4 little shops one of them is in pic above. Mr Mirza later bought shops on Selbourne Rd and Leagrave Rd corner. It was the only Asian halal meat shop much before Kashmir Store in oak rd.
