Discover Luton's hidden architectural gems with online tours from Heritage Forum

The 'Online Whistle-Stop Heritage Tour of Luton' kicks off on Thursday, November 26, and the group is keen to reach out to people of all ages and backgrounds.

The programme will begin with a presentation from Luton town centre master planner Toby Maloy.

Mr Maloy will outline the town centre’s regeneration plans – including the Plaiter’s Lea and George Street conservation areas, as well as 44 listed buildings.

The forum is inviting people with knowledge of hidden architectural gems, secret histories, and tales of family revelations to get involved.

Luton Heritage Forum chairman Paul Hammond said: “We are relaunching the public forum online for the winter and we’re looking to inspire future generations to join us in protecting and developing Luton’s heritage assets.”
