  • Luton Motor Town
    Contents Luton: Motor Town Luton: Motor Town 1910 - 2000 The resources in this pack focus on the major changes in the town during the 20th century. For the majority of the period Luton was a prosperous, optimistic town that encouraged forward-looking local planning and policy. The Straw Hat Boom Town, seeing problems ahead in its dependence on a single industry, worked hard to attract and develop new industries. In doing so it fuelled a growth that changed the town forever. However Luton became almost as dependant on the motor industry as it had been on the hat industry. The aim of this pack is to provide a core of resources that will help pupils studying local history at KS2 and 3 form a picture of Luton at this time. The primary evidence included in this pack may photocopied for educational use. If you wish to reproduce any part of this park for any other purpose then you should first contact Luton Museum Service for permission. Please remember these sheets are for educational use only. Normal copyright protection applies. Contents 1: Teachers’ Notes Suggestions for using these resources Bibliography 2: The Town and its buildings 20th Century Descriptions A collection of references to the town from a variety of sources. They illustrate how the town has been viewed by others during this period. Luton Council on Luton The following are quotes from the Year Book and Official Guides produced by Luton Council over the years. They offer an idea of how the Luton Council saw the town it was running.

A., M. A., M. Sc. The Ohio State University 1956 Approved by: Department of Geography ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The challenge of industrial geography first became apparent to me at the University of Wisconsin, and led me to pursue further work at The Ohio State University. During my stay here, several staff members have given valuable aid and encouragement during the writing of this dissertation. I want to express appreciation especially to Professors Alfred J. Wright, my adviser, Guy-Harold Smith, Eugene Van Cleef, John R. Randall, Lawrence A. Hoffman, and Henry L. Hunker. Working in Springfield, I encountered many persons who gave generously of their time and attention. To each one of these gentlemen (listed in Appendix B) cordial thanks are extended. Finally, feelings of deep gratitude are expressed for the encouragement and moral support of my father, Mr. Mukat Behari Lai Srivastava, whose ambition it has been that I pursue graduate work in the field of "geography", up to the doctor's level.

As in previous editions, the emphasis is on vehicle technologies, fuel consumption, and emissions of greenhouse gases and other air pollutants. The following pages give a concise overview of subsequent chapters, which then focus more closely on the Member States, manufacturers’ brands, and vehicle segments with the highest number of vehicle registrations. More comprehensive tables are included in the annex, along with information on sources. Number of vehicles New passenger car registrations continued on the generally downward path started in 2007; since that year they have fallen from 15.6 million to 12.0 million, a decline of 23%. The trend reflects the close relationship between vehicle sales and the economic climate. Accordingly, it is most pronounced in southern Europe, where vehicle sales have decreased by 60% in Spain and 45% in Italy since 2007. On the other hand, in Germany the number of vehicles sold in 2012 was about the same as in 2007.

Here is Birmingham City Transport 44 (OA 1572) a Daimler Y type with Brush body with a snowplough temporarily affixed. It was in the Birmingham fleet from 1916 to 1927, subsequently serving with Southdown. (Birmingham City Transport collection, ref BC01/0261, copyright The Bus Archive).

Here we see the four-page brochure which was issued to potential clients, describing the latest features – a radio, loud speakers and even a cocktail cabinet!
