Book excerpt: Luton Past & Present gives a fascinating insight into the dramatic changes that have taken place in the city during the 20th century. The book recalls houses, public buildings, shops, factories, and pubs that have vanished or been changed almost beyond recognition. The pictures show changing types of transport and fashion, and the developing character of streets and districts as they took on the form that is familiar today. The astonishing periods of growth that occurred during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, and since World War II, are particularly well illustrated. Many aspects of the changing city are recalled--hospitals and schools, places of work and recreation, parks and squares, suburban streets and the main thoroughfares--and the pictures record the ceaseless building and rebuilding that characterizes the city today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Luton: With Its Hamlets, Etc The History of Luton has, hitherto, been merely fragmentary, descending scarcely to the middle of the eighteenth century, and confined almost exclusively to matters connected, with the Church; but the Neighbourhood possessing many relics of antiquity, and the Town itself having risen, within the last few years, to a prominent position in the Commercial world, the Author felt induced to believe that a collection of facts, relating to both, presented in a connected form, would not be unacceptable to the public. With this view, he has spared no pains in consulting every available record of former ages, or in col lecting every interesting event of later date. The present History is the fruit of his exertions; and he feels stimulated by the hope, and im pressed with the conviction, that it will be found more complete, comprehensive, and satisfactory, than anything that has yet been written upon the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is it like to be a young Muslim man in the wake of the 2005 London bombings? What impact do political factors have on the multifaceted identities of young Muslim men? Drawn from the author's ethnographic research of British-born Muslim men in the English town of Luton, Being Young, Muslim and Male in Luton explores the everyday lives of young men and, focusing on how their identity as Muslims has shaped the way they interact with each other, the local community, and the wider world. Through a study of religious values, the pressures of masculinity, the complexities of family and social life, and attitudes towards work and leisure, Ashraf Hoque argues that young Muslims in Luton are subverting what it means to be "British" by consciously prioritizing and rearticulating their "Muslim identities" in novel and dynamic ways that suit their experiences. Employing rich interviews and extensive participant observation, Hoque paints a detailed picture of young Muslims living in a town consistently associated in the popular media with terrorist activity and as a hotbed for radicalization. He challenges widely held assumptions and gives voice to an emerging generation of Muslims who view Britain as their home and are very much invested in the long-term future of the country and their permanent place within it.

Book excerpt: In the past, Luton was a market town and, for many years, was also a centre for the brewing industry. In the 19th century it became famous for hat making, and more recently it has grown into a thriving industrial centre. During the Second World War it played an important part in the manufacture of army vehicles, and children bound for school had to dodge the Churchill tanks on their way to various theatres of conflict. Nowadays, Luton Airport is the gateway for all types of traveller and the town is well known for its famous football team. Luton has always provided visitors with a warm welcome and many have stayed and made the town their home. Local industry offered employment opportunities in the early 20th century and many had cause to be grateful for its relative prosperity during the Great Depression. Following the Second World War, immigrants from the Indian subcontinent and from the West Indies brought with them colourful new cultures that are celebrated in the annual Carnival. This fascinating and illustrated account of Luton's past will inform and delight anyone who lives in the town and inspire those who grew up here.

Download or read book Presenting History written by Peter J. Beck and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-10-04 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who reads academic histories? Should historians reach out more beyond academia to the general public? Why do Hollywood films, historical novels and television histories prove more successful in presenting the past to a wider audience? What can historians do to improve their effectiveness in reaching and engaging their target audience in a digital age? The way history is presented to an audience is often taken for granted, even ignored. Presenting History explores the vital role played by presenters in both establishing why history matters in today's world and communicating the past to audiences within and outside academia. Through case studies of leading historians, historical novelists, Hollywood filmmakers and television history presenters, this book looks critically at alternative literary and visual ways of presenting the past as both academic history and popular history. Historians discussed include Stephen Ambrose, Niall Ferguson, Eric Hobsbawm, Robert A. Rosenstone, Simon Schama, Joan Wallach Scott and A.J.P. Taylor. Chapter topics include Hollywood and history; Michael Bellesiles' controversial history of gun rights in the USA; Philippa Gregory's historical novels; historians and the David Irving trial; and Terry Deary's 'Horrible Histories'. Raising serious questions about the nature, study and communication of history, Presenting History is an essential text for historians and history students, as well as anyone involved in listening to, reading, or watching presenters of the past.

Jay Blades MBE, Co-Chair of Heritage Crafts An engaging makers' guide to the history and craft of straw plaiting, brimming with helpful step-by-step diagrams. Straw plaiting has been used to make accessories from hats and baskets to handbags, trimmings and homewares around the world for centuries.

This book aims to change that, drawing on more than 50 previously unpublished patterns and techniques from around the world that will help you to unlock the history and preserve the skills of straw plaiting. For each pattern, follow the step-by-step diagrams and instructions and discover how they were developed whilst learning about materials, tools and preparation. Once familiar with the plaiting techniques – using straw as well as other materials – you will be able to develop your own skills, possibly blending in recycled materials, which are increasingly being used to produce beautiful and unique pieces.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Luton Church: Historical and Descriptive More than seven centuries ago a Norman rhymer, Geoffrey Gaimar, recording the capture of a British town which had taken place wellnigh six hundred years before his day, assigned to it the name and title of "la cite de Luitune." Like the old Saxon chronicler, when relating this same event (c. 571), he, no doubt, meant to give, not the native name of the British camp, which seemingly perished from memory along with the structure itself, but that of the fort or town which arose on its ruins, or in their immediate neighbourhood. The earlier writer named it, as styled in his day, "Lygean-burh," "the fort upon the Lea;" the later, three hundred years afterwards, designated it by the name of the township and parish in which it was by this time included, and of the well-known town which had taken its place, Luton. Gaimar's name for it, therefore, is a plain index of the survival to his day of the tradition as to where in the Midlands that fatal struggle took place, whilst the accompanying title bears witness to the ancient renown of the township of Luton, as having, in days of yore, contained a "city," even "a royal city," as both Saxon and Norman historian, the Ealdorman Ethelweard and Henry of Huntingdon, assert the British town to have been. "A royal city," eventually, in consequence, a "royal manor," "of ancient demesne," even in the days of the Norman Conqueror, with a history commencing conterminously with the first recorded struggle in the Midlands between Saxon and Briton - its name the only one to be met with, besides that of Bedford, in the history of the shire for the first three hundred and fifty years of Anglian rule - Luton is not an upstart of to-day.
