Publisher Description: Once famous throughout the country for its hat-making industry, the Bedfordshire town of Luton has a long and fascinating history. Here you will find connections to a famous wartime witchcraft trial, encounter the first 'official' investigation into a haunted house, and meet one of the unsung heroes of the British film industry. Local author Paul Adams takes the reader on an enlightening and entertaining journey through Luton's past, delving beneath the surface in this unique approach to the town's history, blending dark deeds and strange tales with long-forgotten facts and amusing stories, revealing the hidden secrets that even most local people don't know. |
